Sparrows
Embraced by Kindness: Cory Asbury's Inspiring Song Reflection
Lyrics
The sparrow's not worried 'bout tomorrow
The sparrow is not concerned about what might happen in the future.
Or the troubles to come
It doesn't worry about upcoming challenges or difficulties.
The lily's not thinking 'bout the seasons
The lily does not ponder on the changing seasons, nor does it worry about periods of drought or flood.
The drought or the flood
It remains unaffected by either dry spells or excessive water.
A tree that's planted by the water
A tree situated near a water source remains undeterred even when confronted by fire.
Isn't fazed by the fire
It stays resilient despite facing threats like fire.
So why should I be?
The singer questions why they should worry or be anxious.
'Cause You take good care of me
Because God takes excellent care of the singer.
You take good care of me
God provides constant care.
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
God understands the singer's needs even before they articulate them.
And You hold me in Your hands
The singer feels cradled and protected in God's embrace.
With a kindness that never ends
God's kindness towards the singer is endless.
I'm carried in Your love no matter what the future brings
The singer feels embraced and supported by God's love, regardless of future uncertainties.
Yeah, You take good care of me
God continues to offer unwavering care and support.
The sun's not worried 'bout the winter
The sun doesn't worry about the forthcoming winter because it knows it will eventually pass.
'Cause soon it will pass
The sun remains confident knowing that the cold season is temporary.
The light's not thinking 'bout the darkness
The light doesn't focus on the darkness it might create or the shadows it might cast.
Or the shadow it casts
It continues to shine irrespective of the shadows.
A heart that's planted in forgiveness
A heart rooted in forgiveness doesn't remain stuck in past grievances or regrets.
Doesn't dwell in the past
It chooses to move forward and not be bound by past mistakes.
So why should I be?
The singer reiterates their question about why they should worry.
'Cause You take good care of me
Because God is consistently watching over the singer.
You take good care of me
God's care is always present.
You know what I need before I even ask a thing

And You hold me in Your hands

I'm carried in Your love no matter what the future brings

God's care remains consistent and unwavering.
I know there must be more

But I can't get past Your kindness

I know there's got to be more
