God And The Sparrowherder - Kirsty McGee

God loves the sparrowherder

And the sparrows love him too

They all follow in his footsteps

Just as I have followed you

But you know god loves us most of all

When we’re straying from the path

I would not put my trust in Jesus

To bring us all…

To bring us all…

God loves the sparrowherder

'Cause he sees himself within

You see a sparrow’s wing, all dusty brown?

Well, it’s radiant to him

So they follow in his footsteps

Just as I have followed yours

'Cause god loves us most when we’re ill at ease

When we’re hiding from our flaws

Oh the blessed ones, they follow

He is tender, he is wise

And the sparrows see their radiance

Reflected in his eyes

For the sparrow’s song is a broken song

But who are they to blame?

And I’ve learned the words so I sing along

Again, and again, and again, and again

God bless the sparrowherder

He is gentle, he is kind

Are we fools to follow after?

Are they fools that stay behind?

For the song he sings is rich and sweet

And it leads us from the path

I would not put my trust in Jesus

To bring us all…

To bring us all…

To bring us all back
