This was my mother in law’s favorite song. It was sung at her memorial service. Every time I hear it I think of her. Ten minutes before she died she told our pastor she trusted Christ as her Savior. Years of witnessing to her that resulted in an eternal glorious end to this temporary life.
That's so beautiful Gail. Just remember, there are no more scars in heaven now but on the one who gave his life for her and the one who holds her in His hands: ruclips.net/video/BCc7TCmKcwQ/видео.html
Praise the Lord!!! I'm glad you prayed without ceasing. God is good. How blessed to have such a lovely daughter-in-law who truly cares. God bless you and all of your loved ones.
How I love this old hymn!!! When I was a child, the woman who lived across the street and went to the same church as our family , had a beautiful voice and often sang this as a solo!!!! I always loved to hear her sing!! She loved the Lord so dearly. She had a very rough life due to losing a son in a chemical fire at his job and a husband who showed no love to her. Then he had some health problems and he came to know Jesus as his Savior!!! Then he could not do enough for her--he spoiled her and loved her tremendously!!!!! She well deserved it!!! When I hear this song --She always comes to my mind!!!!
But most of all, make sure that you pray yourself to him, and talk to him sincerely from your heart. He will listen to you. God bless you in Jesus name. 🙏🙏
Thank you for that beautiful song. My sweet husband went to be with our Lord in October of 2021. We were married 41 years and I feel as thought my heart is going to break because I miss him so. This song made me cry because I know Jesus and the love of my life are watching over me. Thank you and my God continue to bless you.
So sorry for your loss. I had a Dear Friend lose her Husband years back. She shared with me; I told the Lord- I don’t know what to do without my Husband. I don’t know how I’ll make it... Then I thought of some of my other Friends who had lost their Spouses. And saw how they were making it. And I told the Lord; Oh, I think I can do that! (Now my Friend is with the Lord also.) The Lord is Faithful. ❤️
Why should I feel discouraged, Why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for heaven, heaven and home, When, when Jesus is my portion, My constant Friend is He; Oh, oh-oh, his eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watched, watched it over me. I sing because I’m happy (happy) I sing because I’m free (free free free) For His eye, his eye is on the sparrow, And I know, I know He watches over me. Beautiful
I’m on my husbands account- this was my mommy’s favorite song she sang in church she had a very beautiful high singing voice and she named me Robin🥰🥰🥰 GOD BLESS ALL
I love this song and have listened to many different renditions. After only a few bars, this was already my favorite. Thank you Keith and Kristyn and your entire team for all the beautiful and theologically sound music you continue to bring to the Christian community. :-)
Keith and Kristen hail from my own sweet Northern Ireland, which is standing in the strength of the Almighty Lord against the fiery darts of Satan. Christ will keep his eye on all of us little sparrows. 🙏
My grandmother adored ETHYL WATERS sing this amongst other hymns she loved. Her sweet husband was killed by a fruit truck in BC, Canada. One day I will meet my grandfather who sang hymns before meals. I have his own hymnal. That reunion will be extra special b cause he was frightfully shunned for bringing unbelievers to church!!! Or something like this….. he was such a kind man!!! Widowed with her 10 year old daughter, she sewed her entire life. Your music is tender and sweet!!! Wonderful!!! Thank you so much ❤

Love the song, love the arrangement, love the beautiful dress, love the history of this powerful song, most of all... love the Lord with all my heart!!
I'm wondering why Kristyn Getty only sings one of the three verses of this lovely hymn by Civilla Martin written in 1905 after this occasion: Early in the spring of 1905, my husband and I were sojourning in Elmira, New York. We contracted a deep friendship for a couple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle-true saints of God. Mrs. Doolittle had been bedridden for nigh twenty years. Her husband was an incurable cripple who had to propel himself to and from his business in a wheel chair. Despite their afflictions, they lived happy Christian lives, bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them. One day while we were visiting with the Doolittles, my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret of it. Mrs. Doolittle's reply was simple: "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." The beauty of this simple expression of boundless faith gripped the hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me. The hymn "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" was the outcome of that experience.
The theme of the hymn is inspired by these Bible verses: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye" (Psalm 32:8). "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?" (Matthew 6:26) and "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:29-31).
Hey Keith and Kristyn - don’t know if you’ll read this. However I live on the Isle of Man and I’ve been loving your evensong album on iTunes, it gives me a lot of peace. I listen through it a lot, but usually before I go to bed, and when I’m out in the van doing deliveries! God bless you, please come perform for us on the island one day!
In lockdown mode here in Malaysia for the 3rd time in 14 months with no end in sight. This song is so timely needed for such a crucial time as this. Thank you for doing this song. God bless you.❤️
Just one word to describe this performance- BEAUTIFUL . Reminds me of my mother gone these 41 years. She loved this song and l learned the lyrics from her. Would have loved to hear all the three stanzas,though. Thanks a lot anyway and God bless you.
Wow what a beautiful rendition! I had never heard this singer before...but glad I did. Remember that God cares about you so much and will always take care of you! 🙏❤🙏❤
This song is so precious to me.my song to the Lord I am so thankful,grateful,humbled that He watches me.I need Him so much!! And He provides ALL that I need everyday
This is a refreshing and heartfelt rendition of this famous song ... I really appreciate the happiness of the Believer is truly expressed in such a personal way
This is one of my father’s and my all time favorite Christian songs. This version gives me a feeling of calm and serenity. The version that we use to play was more of Choir singing. Every time I hear this song brings back great memories with my father who passed away in 2017. He was 88 years old. Thank you and I love you Dad.
Thanku soooo much I need to feel my Lords love over me and I did Blessings to you my dear and the band May God continue to bless you all in your giftedness

Lovely that Beethoven joined this beautiful rendition of His eye is on the sparrow at the end ❤
please explain this remark.......Thank you!
@@davidstedeford387 The ending of the song resembles his famous moonlight sonata (the 1st one)

This song is my mom's favorite song my mother's birthday is today and I miss my mom so much always her daughter
Trying to find this song because of Buku Ende no. 777. Jehovah Jireh.
May lord strengthen me

This is the best version I have heard this far.... Very relaxing and soothing... Very peaceful with great meaning... Melodious to the ear

Such a beautiful song and this version is lovely. I only wish all the verses were there.
This is the most beautiful version I've ever heard.
Love the quote from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata!
The theme of the hymn is inspired by these Bible verses:
"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye" (Psalm 32:8). "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?"

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:29-31).
I haven’t heard this song since my childhood.
Oh my, that was absolutely beautiful. The musicians were amazing. Please sing the entire hymnal.
That's a great rendition of this beautiful hymn! Her voice is just so beautiful and the arrangement is simple but solemn at the same time!
Yes, His eyes are on everyone of His children at the same time. Great is our God.

My Great Grandmom sang this all the time I was told tonight. I can see why.
A delightful presentation🌟 Kristyn, you look like an angel.
The place is so natural and homely. Thank you all for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Keep on the good work. God bless you all.

Your version of this song did something deep down inside me:incredibly, gloriously beautiful. Thank you, thank you!
