My yesterday was spent at a Signed-Sealed-Delivered movie marathon. The episode where Oliver recites His Eye Is On The Sparrow made me cry. Not only are the words emotionally touching, but they reminded me of Aunt Jane's funeral a few months ago. She lived to be 103. The soloist at her celebration of life sang that song based on Matthew 10:29-31. The message is meant to give us comfort and reassure us during times of worry or sadness. He keeps his eye on us and our earthly concerns and well-being.
Whenever I have sorrow,
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.
