I was sitting on a bench
With hubby by my side
Drinking in the ocean view
Feeling nothing much inside
When along came a sparrow
This little guy so small
Landed right in front of me
And strutted as though tall
Back and forth with pride
He strode there at my feet
Then he flew upon a fence
And paused to look at me
He then flew away
As quickly as he came
But since that moment
Life's never been the same
When I feel down and out
When things aren't going well
I think of that little sparrow
How he brought me from my shell
God loves that little guy
God sent him to me that day
To show me how much He loves me
Through his promenade
My heart was instantly calmed
My spirit rose and soared
As that little sparrow strutted
I knew how much I'm loved
God feeds and clothes what's His
He watches over all
He's promised all that's good
When on His name we call
He touched me with His promise
I don't need to fret for tomorrow
He loves me even more
Than He loves the little sparrow

Matthew 10:29-32
Are not two sparrows sold
for a farthing? and one of
them shall not fall on the
ground without your Father.
But the very hairs of your
head are all numbered.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of
more value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him
will I confess also before my
Father which is in heaven.
