“Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.”

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not 1 of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.”
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.”

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not 1 of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.”
These are days when, for any number of reasons, we could give way to such discouragement. Days when we sorrow both over all that has changed and all that seems to never change. When the quiet falls upon me and my heart sinks low, I sit in it for a while with Jesus & then I sing.
Sing, sorrowful heart.
Sing to your Father.
Sing your lament.
Sing His praise.
Sing your sorrow.
Sing of His grace.
Sing of His goodness.
Sing of your woes.
Sing in your mourning.
Sing while you dance.
Sing at a whisper. Sing loud & clear out your lungs with primal praise.
Sing to your Father.
Sing your lament.
Sing His praise.
Sing your sorrow.
Sing of His grace.
Sing of His goodness.
Sing of your woes.
Sing in your mourning.
Sing while you dance.
Sing at a whisper. Sing loud & clear out your lungs with primal praise.
