Sparrow
Moving again and I'm questioning
How to find rest in this sojourning
I just don't have the strength
You say I am blessed if I trust in You
Say I am blessed if my strength is in You
But I'm traveling, traveling
And it's hard to see Your hand
Even the swallow finds a nest
Where she may lay her young
Even the sparrow finds a home
At the altars of the living God
The altars of the living God
I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
From place to place all over this globe
You've led us far and wide
And I sometimes feel the strain
But I'm holding on to Your promises
Holding on to what You said
That those who give up everything
Will receive a hundredfold
Each little swallow finds a nest
Where she may lay her young
Each little sparrow finds a home
At the altars of the living God
The altars of the living God
I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
For a day in Your courts is better than
A thousand anywhere else
Oh a day in Your courts is better than
A thousand anywhere else
You are the living God
You are the living God
You are the living God
You are my living God
And I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
Oh I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
How to find rest in this sojourning
I just don't have the strength
You say I am blessed if I trust in You
Say I am blessed if my strength is in You
But I'm traveling, traveling
And it's hard to see Your hand
Even the swallow finds a nest
Where she may lay her young
Even the sparrow finds a home
At the altars of the living God
The altars of the living God
I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
From place to place all over this globe
You've led us far and wide
And I sometimes feel the strain
But I'm holding on to Your promises
Holding on to what You said
That those who give up everything
Will receive a hundredfold
Each little swallow finds a nest
Where she may lay her young
Each little sparrow finds a home
At the altars of the living God
The altars of the living God
I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
For a day in Your courts is better than
A thousand anywhere else
Oh a day in Your courts is better than
A thousand anywhere else
You are the living God
You are the living God
You are the living God
You are my living God
And I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
Oh I am Your sparrow
and I'll make You my home
I will live in You
tuck my treasures underneath Your wings
You'll be my roof
my walls, windows and floor
You'll be my permanence
my white picket fence
and my backyard swing
