God and the Sparrowherder

Lyrics

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
