Pianist Jason Coleman reveals his talents in yet another hymn with this new cover. It’s a remarkable and talented piece of music that’s difficult to play, but Jason does so very masterfully.
Though the cover is without words, you will surely be reminded of the song’s reassuring words:
My constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow
The song talks about how there is no need to feel lonely or discouraged, as God is watching you just as he does the sparrows. So “let not your heart be troubled.”
The hymn was written in 1905 by Civilla Durfee Martin. She and her husband, a Baptist minister, wrote Gospel songs. She was, in part, inspired by Matthew 6:26, which reads, “Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
She wrote it after visiting a couple whose last name was Doolittle. The couple had some hardships, but they always remained bright and positive. When Civilla asked what their secret was, Mrs. Doolittle simply said, “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” She had written a poem by the next day and promptly mailed it to composer Charles Gabriel, who put it to tune.
This piano cover is a wonderful reminder that we are in God’s hands.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.” Matthew 10:29
