Thread Name: Lyr Req: Consider the Lily / Consider the Lilies
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Consider the Lilly
"Consider the Lilies, they don't toil or spin" was written by Joel Hemphill who wrote several hundred other songs including "He's Still Working On Me" and "I Came On Business For The King". Hemphill performed with his wife Labreeska and his children for many years as the Hemphills. Quite a few other major gospel artists also recorded his songs. Consider The Lilies is one of those songs that should be around for many years; well written, meaningful words, and a beautiful melody.
