I later realised that the melody of the hymn is a little unique, but the lyrics, based on scripture (Psalm 32: 8 Matthew 6: 26 Matthew 10: 29 вЂ“ 31), are truly meaningful, comforting and inspiringвЂ¦ I remember I was introduced to the song years ago at a committee meeting, and at that time, I thought the lady who sang it passionately sounded strangely out of tune.

How lovely that He gently reminded me about an old gospel hymn today вЂ“ вЂњHis Eye is on the SparrowвЂќ, written in 1905. Once again, faith is renewed and strength is restored in oneвЂ™s heart. Things always look very different after a moment of praise and thanksgiving towards our God. I suppose that is always when I have made the mistake of looking at all that has been happening around the world and life in general, when I have forgotten to look away from it all, and instead, to look up, toward our Abba Father, who is all-knowing, loving, sovereign and faithful.

I admit that there are times when I get a little disheartened, because everything can seem rather overwhelming, all of a sudden. So donвЂ™t be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.вЂќД«efore I begin writing a blog post, I always ask Abba Father for ideas. Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.ДЄnd even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. вЂњLook at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,ДЄre you not much more valuable than they?вЂќ вЂњI will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go
