I've posted a lyric by Natalie Sleeth that is one of the songs we will do with the 3-5 choir next week. It's probably the toughest one to memorize because of the poetry, but it's a beautiful paraphrase of that section of the gospels as well a great family devotional material. Enjoy!

Consider The Lilies

by Natalie Sleeth

ALL: Consider the lilies and how they grow, blossoming there in the field 

'Tis not for their labor they flourish so, flowers of beauty to yield. 

Through the grace of God above, tending all in constant love, 

Every want shall be supplied, for God the Lord will provide.

5th only: Consider a moment the birds in flight, everywhere filling the air. 

With never a worry they seek the height, nourished in bountiful share. 

Through the grace of God above, tending all in constant love, 

Every want shall be supplied, for God the Lord will provide.

4th only: Store not up in great array treasures for the coming day.

 In the Kingdom first believe, and all good things you shall receive.

ALL: For more than the lilies that bloom and grow, more than the birds of the air, 

Your Maker forever your need will know and feed you with heavenly care. 

Through the grace of God above, tending all in constant love, 

Every want shall be supplied, for God the Lord will provide.

God the Lord, the loving Lord will every blessing provide!
