my friend's email:
So, I am in the shower ( do not visualize) , and am praying for Zhang. I subconsciously begin singing a song that I sang to Neilly over and over in the hospital when she had surgery#1. I am singing at the top of my lungs (do not visualize) when I just smile cause I realize what I am singing while I think about Neilly and Zhang, etc... You probably know the old song, but here goes:
Why do I feel discouraged
Why do the shadows come
And why does my heart feel lonely
and long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
HIs eye is on the sparrow
and I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over 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 over me
CHORUS
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise
when songs give place to sighing, when hope within me does
I draw the closer to him,from care he sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over me
