consider the lilies


Consider the lilies of the field,
How they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds in the sky,
How they fly, how they fly.
  

He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him,
And guide them with His eye.
  

Consider the sheep of His fold,
How they follow where He leads.
Though the path may wind across the mountains,
He knows the meadows where they feed.
  

He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky,
And He will feed those who trust Him,
And guide them with His eye.
  

Consider the sweet, tender children
Who must suffer on this earth.
The pains of all of them He carried
From the day of His birth.


He clothes the lilies of the field,
He feeds the lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who trust Him,
And make their hearts as gold.
  

He clothes the lilies of the field,
He feeds the lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who trust Him,
And make their hearts as gold.

  2. Gorgeous pictures of a gorgeous girl! The song was actually a prompting -- a rather strong one. I wish I actually were that clever, but I'll settle for being a messenger. <3

  5. I've never read the lyrics to the whole song before. Pretty amazing that someone wrote a beautiful song about her before she was even born. :)
