His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? And why should my heart feel 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, and I sing because I’m free, for His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me. And I know He watches me, and I know He watches me.

Let not your heart be troubled, His tender words I hear. And resting on His promises, I lose my doubt and fear, though on the paths He leads me, just one step I may see; for His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. --an old Christian hymn based on Luke 12:7

HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
“I will reactivate the Sparrow** Units in the Ph” (or words to that effect) – JS, Dec. 2020;

“Bring it on” ... -- Pacman, responding to enemies in and outside the ring;

“Bring it on” ... CGD said after replying to a leading question in a Senate hearing, 2020;

“My God, I hate that!” – PRRD’s favorite expression in reacting to abuses that harm the nation;

“His eye is on the sparrow.” – Jesus, speaking to the Jews more than 2000 years ago, and to all people, for all time, in Luke 12:7 “there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed... do not be afraid of those that kill the body and after that, can do no more... you are worth more than many sparrows.”

“Who should we follow?” – asks WAWD, January 15, 2021

History repeats itself, giving people clarity and understanding; who should we follow? -- prophets of doom and death or leaders who care? -- false prophets and cohorts who use sparrows, or the good Shepherd who cares for people and little sparrows?
