I lost my sister since 8/16/2022, I am blessed with this song, comfort during.

For missionary families and those traveling away from home, loved ones and associates. Also good for those who are recently bereaved.

This is in response to Uzo's comment: I have been worried to tears about the health of my dog, and last night I prayed hard, then spent a rough night trying to sleep. This morning I woke up with the chorus of "God will take care of you" playing in my head. I had not heard or thought of this song in years. I am not yet free from worry, but the message I received through this song I am holding in my heart.

God has ways of assuring His children that He is always there with them. This song has been one of those ways for me this couple of days. I have been waking up with this song singing endlessly in my heart -“God will take care of you. ” How amazing that it is coming at a time I have been worried about the next steps in several areas of my life. Surely, the Lord will take care of everything about His children. Blessed be His holy name. What an inspiring hymn!

Indeed God do takes care of His own.

Waking up to pray, this song filtered into my spirit, as tough as the current situation is in Nigeria at the moment, God still talks care of His own.

Stay close to Jesus, He'll surely take care of you.
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you!
Trust Him, and you will be satisfied,
God will take care of you!

This has been an inspiration to me. This gives me courage and hope that God is always in action. I shouldn't be worrying or doubting , He is there for me. Even if life is hard, God is with me. I shall worship and praise God for all my life.

Here is an example of a husband and wife who together wrote and composed this well beloved hymn. Civilla wrote the text based on an experience she underwent and William composed the music for his wife’s text.

One morning, Civilla lay sick in bed. Her husband was scheduled to preach a sermon in a nearby church. He almost canceled but their son encouraged him to go by saying that God would take care of her. When he returned, his wife wrote a poem titled, “Be not dismayed whate’er betide.” After reading it, he sat on the piano. The tune was completed that same night.

She is also known for a hymn written in 1905 “His Eye is on the Sparrow.”

Civilla was married to evangelist William Martin. While in New York, in 1905, the couple became friends with the Dolittles.

Mrs. Dolittle had been bedridden for 20 years and her husband was crippled in a wheelchair. Civilla wrote: “Despite their afflictions, they lived happy Christian lives, bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them. One day, while we were visiting the Doolittles, my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret. Mrs. Dolittle’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 their hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me. The song, ‘His eye is on the sparrow,’ was the outcome of that experience.

Oh, Lord. I do believe that You will take care of me during Hurrican Beryl. Oh Lord l pray.
