Sparrow Song

 

Last year we celebrated the amazing things that God had done through the ministries of Go Love Tell. One of those things is the song below. It was written by the Sparrow people and is now used for their own worship music. Go Love Tell helped recognize the need of cultivating indigenous expressions of worship. You’ll find that the words of the refrain point to Jesus as the Lord of Adam, Abraham, Moses, and all the children of Abraham—us! To hear a recording of this song, please visit dawsonchurch.org/SparrowSong and allow it to point your worship to a God who is much bigger than just our little corner of the world.

You gave Eve--a wife to Adam
You provided all that is needed

You arranged the land and sea
Adam settled there
You made plants to grow
The land gave grain
“Everything is very good,” You said

Adam sinned
The Lord’s heart was sad

Love God and worship Him
You are strong and powerful!

VERSE:
Abraham’s children spread everywhere on the land
The Lord receives them
When Moses was a child the Lord loved him.
When he was an old man He received him.
