Lilies
Embracing Divine Love: A Journey of Comfort and Assurance
Lyrics
I see the birds as they fly outside my window
I observe birds flying outside my window.
And Father I know You're with me
Acknowledging the presence of a spiritual figure, likely referring to God as "Father."
It's our little secret that every time I'm feeling down
There's a shared understanding or connection with the divine during moments of sadness.
You send them to remind me
The belief that God sends birds as a reminder during low moments.
That all these birds that fly up in the sky
Reflecting on the carefree nature of birds in the sky.
They don't reap. No, they don't even try
Birds don't strive for material wealth, contrasting with human behavior.
Still you choose to love them anyway
Despite their simplicity, God's love is extended to birds.
How much more valuable am I
Questioning the speaker's worth compared to the birds in God's eyes.
So I won't worry when I can find Your rest
Expressing trust and peace in finding rest in God.
Tomorrow has troubles of its own
Avoiding unnecessary worry about the future.
So I won't worry, for I know You're in control
Confidence in God's control over life's challenges.
You're my Father. You're my friend. You care for me
Affirming a personal connection with God as a caring father and friend.
I see the flowers flowing in the fields
Observing flowers in fields as a symbol of beauty and nature.
The wind of Your Spirit is blowing
Recognizing the intangible presence of the Holy Spirit through the wind.
It can not be seen, but nature proves It's moving
Acknowledging the unseen but evident movement of God's Spirit in nature.
And the lilies, they remind me
Linking lilies to a reminder of God's care, drawing from nature's simplicity.
If Solomon in all his majesty
Comparing the speaker's value to God with the majestic King Solomon.
Wasn't clothed like a single one of these
Highlighting the simplicity and beauty of nature compared to human wealth.
How much more you say You'll care for me
Emphasizing God's promised care for the speaker based on nature's example.
So I don't need to ever worry
Reiterating the assurance that worry is unnecessary in God's care.
So I won't worry when I can find Your rest
Repeating the idea of finding rest in God and avoiding unnecessary worry.
Tomorrow has troubles of its own
Reiterating the idea that each day has its own challenges.
So I won't worry, for I know You're in control
Reaffirming confidence in God's control over life's challenges.
You're my Father. You're my friend. You care for me
Summarizing the relationship with God as a caring father and friend.
