Little Sparrow, What Troubles Thee...?

Little sparrow, what troubles Thee;

is it the stigma that You face?

Little sparrow, what pierces Thee;

is it the shame of Your disgrace?


Is it the brokenness that's in Your heart,

or the sorrows You can't outlive?

Is it the anguish that sets You apart,

or the hurt that holds You captive?


Whatsoever befalls You

is neither unfelt nor unknown;

know that God cares and calls You

when You're left out and all alone.


God will never forsake You

in Your time of great need;

God will never desert You

when You suffer or bleed.
