God sees the little sparrow fall
God sees the little sparrow fall,
it meets his tender view;
if God so loves the little birds,
I know he loves me, too.
Refrain:
He loves me, too, he loves me, too,
I know he loves me, too;
because he loves the little things,
I know he loves me, too.
He paints the lily of the field,
perfumes each lily bell;
if he so loves the little flowers,
I know he loves me well.
Refrain
God made the little birds and flowers,
and all things large and small;
he'll not forget his little ones,
I know he loves them all.
