5. Clap and Sing

Little sparrow, what troubles thee;

Is it the stigma you face?

Little sparrow, what pierces thee;

Is it the shame of disgrace?

Is it the brokenness 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?

What befalls you;

Is neither unfelt nor unknown,

God cares and calls you

When you are cast out and all alone.

God will never forsake you,

In your time of need.

God will never permit you,

To suffer or to bleed.
