I heard a little bird singing
Outside in a tree,
I know that he is winging,
His way back home to me,
He flew away so long ago
Was all alone and yet I know,
He couldn't make it by himself,
He ended up upon a shelf.
He sat there awhile and was afraid,
But soon looked up and asked for aid,
I said, "little sparrow what do you need?
" He replied, "dear God, I need some seed.
" I reached down and picked him up,
Hugged him tight and filled his cup,
I told him for sure that I'd supply,
All his needs as time went by.
But I said to him, "never fly away,
Stay close to me both night and day,
For this world's too big to travel alone,
And I will guide you safely back home.
" So the little bird just flew around,
He stayed near God and didn't roam,
He was fed real well and grew so strong,
His heart was filled with a glad new song.
