Consider the lilies of the field
How they grow, how they grow
Consider the birds in the sky
How they fly, how they fly
He clothes the lilies of the field
He feeds the birds in the sky
And he will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with his eye
Consider the sheep of his fold
How they follow, where he leads
Though the path may wind across the mountain
He knows the meadows where they feed
He clothes the lilies of the field
He feeds the birds in the sky
And he will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with his eye
Consider the sweet tender children
Who must suffer on this earth
The pains of all of them he carried
From the day of his birthHow they grow, how they grow
Consider the birds in the sky
How they fly, how they fly
He clothes the lilies of the field
He feeds the birds in the sky
And he will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with his eye
Consider the sheep of his fold
How they follow, where he leads
Though the path may wind across the mountain
He knows the meadows where they feed
He clothes the lilies of the field
He feeds the birds in the sky
And he will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with his eye
Consider the sweet tender children
Who must suffer on this earth
The pains of all of them he carried
He clothes the lilies of the field
He feeds the lambs of his fold
And he will heal those who trust him
And make their hearts as gold

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Luke 12:27 … Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ♥
