私はスズメ

恐れなければならない方を、あなたがたに教えてあげましょう。殺したあとで、ゲヘナに投げ込む権威を持っておられる方を恐れなさい。そうです。あなたがたに言います。この方を恐れなさい。五羽の雀は二アサリオンで売っているでしょう。そんな雀の一羽でも、神の御前には忘れられてはいません。それどころか、あなたがたの頭の毛さえも、みな数えられています。恐れることはありません。あなたがたは、たくさんの雀よりもすぐれた者です。ルカ12:5-7

His eye is on the sparrow


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.


Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
