His Eye Is On the Sparrow

Written by: Civilla D. Martin
Music by: Charles H. Gabriel

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Agreement and faithful…

1 John 5:14

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

The word “memory” is used five times in the King James Bible. The Bible also emphasizes the importance of memory in other ways, such as in Proverbs 10:7, which states, “The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.”

Some say that memorizing the Bible can help people gain a deeper understanding of texts, understand how texts relate to other scriptures, and bring reality to life. Bible memory can involve activities such as meditation, reflection, rumination, contemplation, and repetition.

My forgetter seems to be my best working part lately.

Today I choose “memory” because Facebook reminded me of starting something I forgot to continue. “One Word”.

My father Beryl (Bud) Allen Shipley had a dial indicator business in his home. Some of his measuring tools were so small you could hardly see them.

He also had pencils or pens or signed letters with the acronym – RWYR – for “Remember Whose You Are”.

1 Corinthians 3:22-23 says, “Whether it is Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life or death, present or future things, everything belongs to you. You belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God”
