about

"His eye is on the sparrow, and I know it watches me." This hymn is a classic, and if you have spent any time in church then you have probably heard it. This song is a prayer. It is a prayer for those who do not know God because I know God loves all of us, and no matter how far one may stray from him I pray that he is still present like he was for me while I was in the wilderness. It is hard to imagine an all loving and all powerful God while at the same time seeing this world full of lost and hurt people.

lyrics

Thank God for where I am today
I spent so long wandering without aim
I denounced my faith
I sought out earthly gain
Yeah I was toxic
Needed healing
I was sick with hopeless feeling.
I can look back and find you in my darkest moments.
And those blessings I now recognize they bring me new laments,
Cause I'm surrounded by those
Who still only see you as hate
My prayers and focus have shifted
Cause my perspective changed.

Because your eye is on the Sparrow
But what about my friends?
Lord I know that you watch over me but what about them?
Retrospectively I see you in my life when I did not believe.
Do you chase after them like you chased me?

Lord I pray for those lost
Those suffering in situations feeling helpless.
Abusive relationships,
Addicted to substances
Neglected by those you call to love,
Those you call to care.

Back when I did not believe
You were still watching over me.
For that I'm thankful,
Will always praise your name.
I have friends in the same situation.
Who don't know what you have to offer them,
They don't care to know
But God I know.

The love that you have for them,
It knows no bounds.
