Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

You really are and amazing christian woman. After posting How It's Going you follow it up by posting the Hymn I Know He Watches me. You are an inspiration. My wife and I will be praying for you.
Truer words have not been spoken!
love that hymn (and the pic!)
TGIF, ya?
Love that song. It is so moving and perfect.
What a precious pic.
Have you ever read the book, Not a Sparrow Falls?
It's a fabulous book.
truly, truly m'dear.
I sang this in my head as I read the words to this hymn. It's one of my very favorites, by the way, and one I have sung often in church. Know that He is watching over you and Jackson and Noah. He will not let you fall. I know that in times of troubles and hardships when you just can't imagine what "the other side" is going to look at, it can be scary. Keep trusting and holding on. God will not fail you. He loves you too much!
These words are from a Chonda Pierce song that I heard her sing once at a Women of Faith conference. They so ministered to me at the time, I added it to my repetoire.
"God Loves You"
Hope, like a flower will push
Through the smallest crack in your broken heart
And out of the deep, darkest night
Will shine the brightest burning star
Oh it's there like a half-remembered song
The thing that you've forgotten
But have known all along
God loves you
And He wants you to know
He is with you
You are not alone
He will see you through
God loves you
Tears are just water and salt
But a thimble full can feel oceans wide
But trust that just one gentle wind
Will sail you to the other side
Oh it's there like a whisper on the breeze
The truth that's so familiar, yet still hard to believe
God loves you
And He wants you to know
He is with you
You are not alone
He will see you through
God loves you
You don't have to be anywhere near perfect
You don't ever have to prove a thing
You are loved, you are loved
So far beyond your imagining
God loves you
And He wants you to know
He is with you
You are not alone
He will see you through
God loves you
You've just been "sung over" sweet friend and prayed for. I hope this song ministers to your heart and gives you peace.
Hoping for blessings more than you can handle,
Bronie
