THE SPARROW

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Matthew 10:29

See the little bird
Spoken of in God’s Word?
The most common of birds is he;
But he has a special message for you and me.

The cardinal, the blue bird, the chickadee all share
A noble beauty beyond compare.
Of all birds the sparrow is not the most fair,
Yet God uses him as an illustration of His care.

But God has chosen the most common of birds to bear -
A message to cheer us in our day of care.
God loves the sparrow so well;
How much He loves us no one can tell.

Our value is more than many sparrows can be;
Our Father has an infinite love for you and me.
He sees each sparrow that falls to the ground.
With that little bird His presence can be found.

So the next time you are loaded down with care,
Think of the sparrow message God has to share.
Since He takes good care of His little bird,
He’ll take care of us according to His Word.
