Matthew 6:
24 ¶ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 ¶ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 ¶ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 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?
31 ¶ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
(KJV)

Lyrics:
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain

I love this song.
It was sung at two funerals of friends I lost this year, and was very meaningful to them.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

There is a "HYMN SHARE" thread that these postings would probably be well suited for.

Is my posting hymns not correct? I will stop, if it's not okay for me to post these here.KingdomBuilder wrote:There is a "HYMN SHARE" thread that these postings would probably be well suited for.

Posting hymns and other songs is entirely appropriate; please feel free to continue. I think the suggestion was to post them in this thread rather than start a new thread for each one.lily of the desert wrote:Is my posting hymns not correct?

No no. Post hymns by all means! I was just letting you know such a thread exists

Whew! Thank you for clarifying.KingdomBuilder wrote:No no. Post hymns by all means! I was just letting you know such a thread exists
I like posting different posts for each one, only because it seems more orderly. I also like being able to find something easily. Threads can be long and make stuff hard to find, adding one extra step. Some days I am just too tired to make those kinds of efforts.
