Little sparrow,
do you know
Father God
knows
you?
Yes.
He comes and flies with me, you know
when He needs the simple things.
He says He loves me.
He laughs when I have a bath
in a puddle
and splash Him.
He laughs.
He enjoys
He who has trusted the world to man
and now must watch
in pain and glory
as man lives
and dies
and hurts
and cries.
When He needs the simple things
He says He loves
me.
That was then
but this is now ……
in the cold light of morning
in the hard light of day
is it enough
to know
that once
You saved me.
Is it enough?
Yes,
sometimes.
No!
No, no, no, no
I need to know
that You saved me then
and are with me now.
I need to know!
Not just to feel
on my good days
that sense of ease and peace,
but to know
when things are bad
and nothing’s getting any better.
To know
You’re there
with me
that You won’t leave
I need to know
How can I know that?
Remember the sparrow.
