| 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 |
