"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Luke 12:6,7).
No
sparrow by God is unheeded,
Though
five are so lightly esteemed.
But
God paid the ransom we needed
So
we could be thereby redeemed!
Our
value to Christ is displayed
By
all He endured on the cross.
How
great was the price that He paid
To
save us from infinite loss!
The
Lord who has numbered our hairs
(And
certainly also each cell)
Thus
demonstrates how much He cares:
He
died to redeem us from hell.
Let
this be the thought that controls
The
peace that should rule in our hearts,
For
Christ came to rescue our souls
And
give us the peace He imparts.
Lord,
thank You for comfort so sweet,
Which
You illustrate in a bird,
To
show us Your care so complete,
That
we may be thereby assured.
O
Lord, when from You we have wandered
At
times, like a bird from her nest,
Forgive
us for time we have squandered,
And
draw us back into Your rest.
How
tender, Lord Jesus our Savior,
Are
mercies by which You restore
Our
souls, still more special in favor
Than
sparrows You also care for.
