The birds don't worry [You can depend on Him]

Children ·  Faith
Matthew 6: 26-33 ·  Psalms 8: 3

Lyrics

The birds don’t worry,
The flowers don’t fret,
The trees don’t hurry
For the food they get;
For God looks after
The things He’s made –
They can depend on Him.

So don’t you worry ‘bout the things you need,
For clothes to wear or for food to eat;
But seek His kingdom and the rest will come,
You can depend on Him.

The hills don’t grumble,
The stars don’t cry,
The sun doesn’t tumble
From the big, blue sky;
For God has set everything in place –
They can depend on Him.

You can’t live longer by worrying more,
You can’t get taller than you were before;
So seek His kingdom and the rest will come,
You can depend on Him.

A family song based on Jesus’ teaching about dealing with anxiety

I have only ever written one children’s song – and this is it! I love the passage in Matthew 6 where Jesus frees us from the need to worry by reminding us of the Father’s care for the things around us.

We can often think of worry as an adult pastime! And yet a lot of the recent focus on mental health has highlighted that people of all ages experience issues related to anxiety and depression, and we all need to be reminded of Jesus’ teaching.
