A bird's advice

about

Based on two of my favourite verses in Matthew and Luke.

lyrics

Look up to me, in the sky I'm flying free
flapping my wings, with my family
we do not reap we do not sow
but even baby ravens know
that God provides everything we need...
...to eat.

So why do you worry about what shall you eat
I'm just a bird and you were to his image made...

Oh-oh, you little faith
why can't you rest in his embrace?
Oh-oh, you little faith
why can't you rest, rest, in his embrace.

Consider too, the lilies in the field
better dressed than any king or queen
they do not labor they do not spin
yet every spring, God clothes the grass
with beautiful gawns.

So why do you worry about what shall you wear
it's just a lily and you were to his image made...

Oh-oh, you little faith
why can't you rest in his embrace?
Oh-oh, you little faith
why can't you rest, rest, in his embrace.

Fly and fly, leave worry behind
fly and fy, this is a bird's advice
fly and fly, seek his kingdom first
and all these things will be given in the way
and all these things will be given you aswell.

So why do you worry about what will come next?
I'm just a bird and you were to his image made
why do you worry about what will come next?
if i'm just a bird, if i'm just a bird, i'm just a bird and you were to his image made...

Oh-oh, you little faith
why can't you rest in his embrace?
Oh-oh, you little faith
why can't you rest, rest, in his embrace.
