After Pentecost     Pentecost 2      Matthew 10 : 24-39, particularly verses 24-31

More than sparrows (YA No 54)

A student is  not greater than

The teacher, who gives lead;

A master also is above

The slave who must give heed.

 

As pupils, we would listen to

The One from Galilee;

He is the teacher, we believe,

Who holds our destiny.

 

“You know that sparrows can be bought –

A penny for each pair;

Yet not one falls down from the sky

Outside of God’s great care.”

 

We need not fear, for Jesus states

The truth about our worth;

We are of value, more by far

Than sparrows of the earth.

 

With confidence, enduring hope

We venture forth to be

The life that Jesus calls us to;

‘I hear, dear Lord. Send me.’
