“Life has been hard” you say “the world’s beating me up today
I wonder how I’m gonna get by
The pressure’s closing in on me I can’t ever seem to get free
From the cares of this life”
Well, let me open up your eyes bring your problems down to size
Tell you how to make it through the day
It’s a simple truth I’d like to share to get rid of the load you bear
When life gets you down, you just say
I’m better than a bird, better than a flower
Better than the lilies of the field
I won’t worry about today, won’t worry about tomorrow
‘Cause God knows every need that I feel
I’m a child of my Father and He loves taking care of me
So I take one look at the birds and realize just how absurd
It is for me to be upset
They don’t get a salary and all of them are so care-free
About how much food they’re gonna get
Then I look out at the flowers I could study them for hours
And never see the depth of their wardrobe
Now my cares have all faded just like I’d anticipated
When I see this truth that I know
I’ll seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness
And everything that I need will be given to me
