when i look at the sparrows and how they sing
with such joy and gladness they flutter their wings
from branch to branch they play in the trees
as the leaves sway and dance to the summer breeze
whether rain or shine they bring gladness to my heart
reminding me of Your love that will never ever part
because You O Lord made them to show
who You really are and for me to know
that their joyous, carefree playing and singing
and their persistent praise and heartfelt thanksgiving
are a reflection of the heart of Him who made them
a reflection of Your heart O God that taught them
every song and dance upon the birch
how to fly and dive and play and perch
so small and yet so pleasing to Your heart
such humble creatures faithfully playing their part
so my desire is to have a heart like a sparrow
small and humble on the path straight and narrow
until it’s final end to faithfully bring
a song like the sparrows to you my glorious King
