Not a sparrow could fall from the heavens If You won't allow it to be No man can fall from Your favour If a man puts his trust in the One he can't see Oh I want to fly like a sparrow Who fears not the days yet to come But sings in the shadow of Your wings I want to walk in the shadow of Your wings I want to know You know what is best And when troubles come I'll be singing still Let me rest in the shadow of your wings A sparrow won't try to deserve You He'll trust You to feed him again No man can gain Your approval But by faith in the One who washed away my sins Oh I want to fly like a sparrow Who fears not the wrath from Your hand He sings in the shadow of Your wings I want to walk in the shadow of Your wings I want to know You know what is best And when troubles come I'll be singing still Let me rest in the shadow of your wings And when troubles come I'll be singing still Let me rest in the shadow of your wings
