His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Original Trinity Hymnal, #725

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav'n 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.

"Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender Word I hear,
And resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubt and fear;
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.

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.

Mrs C.D. Martin

Brother Pappy!

I was just kidding about the chaser. Did see your reference to it last week and got a kick out if it. I sometimes drink a glass of wine for relaxation. Heard marijuana worked but have never found any one near to let me try one -- and really don't want to . . . afraid it would work and then I'd be hooked on something else I don't wish to be on out side of my much too many Rx.

I sat on the porch this afternoon and tried to remember the song about God looking out for the sparrows -- then my mind settled on you. The song goes something like 'I don't worry about tomorrow . . ." Would love to find it somewhere. I got rid of all my books so I no longer have access to those great hymns that have touched my heart. . . . but that is a good one to hum when you feel down and concerned.
God's love . . .

Tell Vivian to have a great birthday tomorrow!

Brother Bob,

No: that was only that one time. I used a glass to wash down 2 sleeping pills and some pain pills. Killed the pain for a few hours but no sleep.
That was about a week ago now. You must have missed it.
GOD Bless
Pappy

Pappy! You aren't nipping a bit at it again -- as a chaser, are you? ;-)

Brother Bob

At the moment I am more tired than I have ever been
in my life. Even working 16 hours a day every day for
7 month: did not tire me out. The job was running a
90 pound jackhammer: so was not one where I had time to
get in trouble. The job finaly ended and I was back to
40 hour week. I was so wound up that I had a hard time
to adjust to such a slow pace. It took me several weeks.

I have not fellt up to much tree work. I add a few site members
and stuff like e-mails. But have not done any research.

Well enough of my complaints.

You take care.

God Bless
Pappy

PS I do not plan on being down for long. This is just one more
valley I am required to pass through. It won't be too long.

FOOTNOTE

The above is what real friendship is made of. We've never met in
this life -- face to face -- but one day we shall! And, His eye
is still on the sparrow . . .

Good evening Brother Bob.
I once heard a quote, "Let Go and Let God." I wrote something on it and based a sermon on it once. Simply isn't in my computer. Did a search for it and can't find it noWHERE! Did a search on the internet and came up with some good ones:

Try URL: http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/Bluegrass/2886/LETGOLETGOD.html -- This one is FANTASTIC! You may also like the accompanying music. I think you would get a lot of encouragement -- visa-vie your E-mail below. There is no answer to why the pain other than to see it through Christ on the Cross, I reckon . . . I know this, but can't comprehend it.
http://www.cust.idl.net.au/fold/teach/love_grace/Let_Go_and_Let_God_Do_It.html
From the other side of the coin: http://www.thelutheran.org/0201/page14a.html -- Interesting.
Then this: http://www.all-creatures.org/poetry/letgoletgod.html , you see Brother Bob, I've been searching for answers as well. I visited Jim in the Hospital today. He has lost one leg and they are hoping to save the other. He has put me through the wringer and I am afraid not much help to him. He has not yet accepted Christ and with the pain and suffering he is going through it is a lonely trail he travels. I pray he will respond to my gentle encouragement.
Some insight here: http://www.clarion-call.org/articles/art14.htm
There is much to find on the subject. Only wish I could find mine. I need it as well. Would like to review what I said when I was healthy, young and not wealthy and wise. :=)
God's blessings to you all.
Talk at yaw tomorrow.

Bob & Glenda both say Happy Birthday to the Irish lady

Brother Bob,
I remember the song. But the music on the site don't seem to match the song. My memory may have a short circuit or short in it.
Remember the TV program that srarted with "be still and know that I am GOD?"
Maybe GOD puts us down so HE can talk to us: uninterupted. If so I wish HE would enlighten me on how satan is rocking the very foundation of the Christian World. He (satan) has already gainned entrance into all the Churches.
With the gay movement and abortion. The church seems to accept this sin as the normal thing to do. The preachers of today do not preach on sin and the concequences of being sinful, I remmember when the preachers would raise his voice and pound the pulpit and sometimes leap off the podium yelling.
At times I was sure GOD was going to reach down and tear the roof off the church and start thrashing the daylights out of half the people: and I would be the first and receive the worst.

You said about wine: well some is good to build blood (port wine) and some aids in digestion. Some preachers say it is a sin to drink it. But I don't agree; unless you drink in excess and become drunk.
The whiskey and votka: I am not sure on that point. It comes under the strong drink theme.

GOD Bless You and yours
Pappy

PS Whacky weed does nothing at all: except make ya fell like coughing. Don' see what the big deal is. Perscription drugs don't have much effect on me unless I use 2 or 3 times what is perscribed. A pill like percocet usually makes ya sleepy: but dosn't me. I need 2 just to kill the pain in my shoulder and kidneys.

Just when I am disheartened,
Just when with cares oppressed,
Just when my way is darkest,
Just when I am distressed—
Then is my Savior near me,
He knows my every care;
Jesus will never leave me,
He helps my burdens bear.

Refrain

His grace is enough for me, for me,
His grace is enough for me;
Through sorrow and pain,
Through loss or gain,
His grace is enough for me.

Just when my hopes are vanished,
Just when my friends forsake,
Just when the fight is thickest,
Just when with fear I shake—
Then comes a still small whisper:
"Fear not, My child, I’m near."
Jesus brings peace and comfort,
I love His voice to hear.

Refrain

Just when my tears are flowing,
Just when with anguish bent,
Just when temptation’s hardest,
Just when with sadness rent—
Then comes a thought of comfort:
"I know my Father knows."
Jesus has grace sufficient
To conquer all my foes.

Refrain

I’ve anchored my soul in the Haven of Rest";
I’ve pillowed my head on the dear Savior’s breast;
I’m trusting His promise of mercy so free;
Fear not, "For My grace is sufficient for thee."

Refrain

At home or abroad, on the land or the sea,
God’s wonderful grace is sufficient for me;
I’m finding it true that where’er I may be,
His grace is sufficient for me,
For me, for me, His grace is sufficient for me.

Wherever my lot upon earth may be cast,
Mid storm and mid tempest He holdeth me fast;
No harm can betide while His dear face I see,
And cling to the hand that was wounded for me.

Refrain

The billows in fury around me may beat;
The "Cleft in the Rock" is my blessèd retreat;
My Shield and Defender forever is He;
The Savior Whose grace is sufficient for me.

Refrain

And when I have finished life’s voyage at last,
When safe in the harbor my anchor is cast,
The theme of my praises forever shall be,
God’s grace, which is always sufficient for me.

Refrain

Words: E. S. Hall, 1897.

------------------

I do not ask to see the way
My feet will have to tread;
But only that my soul may feed
Upon the living Bread.
'Tis better far that I should walk
By faith close to His side;
I may not know the way I go,
But oh, I know my Guide.

Refrain

His love can never fail,
His love can never fail,
My soul is satisfied to know
His love can never fail.

And if my feet would go astray,
They cannot, for I know
That Jesus guides my falt'ring steps,
As joyfully I go.
And tho' I may not see His face,
My faith is strong and clear,
That in each hour of sore distress
My Savior will be near.

Refrain

I will not fear, tho' darkness come
Abroad o’er all the land,
If I may only feel the touch
Of His own loving hand.
And tho' I tremble when I think
How weak I am, and frail,
My soul is satisfied to know
His love can never fail.

Refrain
