Just Ask the Sparrow
Dwight Smith

When bills are high and funds are low,
When progress seems far too slow;
When you’ve no sum with which to pay.
And you have seen a better day;
When Satan asks but to mislead,
“Will God supply your every need?”
Just Ask the Sparrow.
Just Ask the Sparrow.

He wings his flight from here to there.
Of God’s great bounty, he is heir,
Then falls within our Father’s care.
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.

When your body’s racked with pain,
And your loss outruns your gain;
When your struggles come like waves,
Then your fears surround like knaves;
When self, in doubt, says, “Look at me,”
Then, with distrust, asks, “Does God see?”
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.

He stoops down low to eat God’s food,
And, with his song, sings “God is good,”
Then rests beneath majestic woods.
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.

When loneliness sweeps o’er your heart,
And you feel like you’ll come apart;
When only memories of the past
Remain, but they are fading fast;
When there’s no friend far or near
And you wonder, “Can God hear?”
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.

He spreads his flight on winds above,
And with the robin, lark, and dove,
He knows the goodness of God’s love.
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.

When storms rage high and billows roll,
And you’ve no respite for your soul;
When clouds sweep o’er your troubled sea,
And there’s no place where you can flee.
When you’ve lost hope and in despair,
You cry out loud, “Does Jesus care?”
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.

While Jesus preached, he used this bird
To show: Our heartaches, He has heard.
So why not trust our Savior’s Word?
Just ask the sparrow.
Just ask the sparrow.
