A Bird in the Rain

 

 

He sat upon the tree limb

Singing a pretty song

His joy got my attention

I wondered if he’d been there long

 

How could he be so happy--

The rain was pouring down!

His feathers looked quite ragged

But I didn’t see a frown!

 

I listened even closer

While he whistled the refrain:

“God takes care of all His creatures--

Even birdies in the rain!”

 

 

So when your life is stormy

With God’s Word your life surround

For little birds sing on rainy days

And cats cannot be found

Matthew 10:27-31

 

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
