I'm Your Sparrow

Written about three years ago when I was under a fair bit of strain. Based on the scripture Matthew 10:29-31

I'm Your Sparrow

You said You’d never leave me nor forsake me

You said You’d count the hairs upon my head

You said that You would even see the sparrow fall

Well

Lord, tonight, I’m your sparrow

And I’m falling

God, I’ve forgotten how to pray

No words left, nothing to say

Only groans and whimpered pain

‘cause

Lord, tonight, I’m your sparrow

And I’m falling

Lord, they’re telling me that I should pray

But I don’t know how or what to say

‘cept “God it hurts, take it away”

And

Lord, tonight, I’m your sparrow

And I’m falling

I’ve heard my friends extol Your worth

Water to wine and virgin birth

In seven days created earth

Well

Lord, tonight, I’m your sparrow

And I’m falling

I’m not asking for miracles

Angels with swords to cure my ills

For fire from heav’n or magic pills

But

Lord, tonight, I’m your sparrow

And I’m falling

So hold me close and soothe my pain

And carry me ‘till I walk again

And my life will never be the same

Because

Lord, tonight, I’m your sparrow

And I’m falling
