Amos, look what you wrote-- up above in February.

Thanks for getting me to sing. Oh I been singing. But something was missing, especially in my church singing.

Thanks for helping me look for it. (Another reason why I sing.) I think I have started to find it.

~S~

I'm not sure the following song is done yet, but...


I SING BECAUSE...

I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free.
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He thinks of me.

I sing because He made us
To praise Him endlessly.
And as He hears each sparrow,
I know He's hearing me.

I sing because He's faithful,
For every lock-- a key.
As the sun calls forth the sparrow,
His kingdom calls to me.

I sing because His mercy
Is more than we can see.
For His bounty feeds the sparrow,
And I know He's planned for me.

I sing because He loves us
How ever we may be
For His love rests on the sparrow,
And His love's redeeming me.

I sing because He's perfect
And loves us perfectly.
And as freely flies the sparrow--
His freedom lives in me!

So, I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free.
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He thinks of me.
