The Sparrow
by louis gander A hawk soared high with hungry eye for hour after hour. At times it'd stop above rooftop, above the belfry tower. And it would perch above this church, atop the highest tree. It's Satan's way, to seek the prey - for something greedily. That hawk would plunge and then could lunge to seize a tasty meal. I thought it odd, so prayed, "Dear God," and knew the threat was real. A sparrow sensed the danger hence, and needed quick, to fly. Through broken glass I saw, alas, that sparrow fly right by. Now safe inside it sought to hide, this room it flew across. What was in store was answered for, below the unlit cross. Though fixtures broke, the light had spoke, as stained glass glowed throughout. But broken pane caused streaks from rain, as church was emptied out. When sparrow see, should follow, we, and walk the straight and narrow; to take refuge from subterfuge, with God's most precious sparrow? If we'll return to church and learn; the grace that God is of; then from all sin there's safety in, the shelter of His love. I learned that day, that come what may, there's comfort under wing. I know because that sparrow does! It sure can chirp and sing! And so could we if we were free of peril from the perch. So lets equip in fellowship, the filling of this church.
