People who do not have the Holy Spirit in them cannot comprehend. They have not had an experience yet that has impacted them to love the Lord. I remember when I was like that. It is a song I listen to frequently. God bless you and them.
There was a time I was that person,a person so cold and hard that even my praying mother douted at times that Jesus would deliver me,it was down a cold and lonely road, when Jesus met me on my way,and all I can say is this, Jesus is real and He left the 99 to go after that one lost Sheep.Never stop praying for those you Love who are lost.. JESUS loves us all.
It just did that for me...I was upset, so I went to the chapel to pray, and started to flip through a songbook, inspired to sing...started singing, and my troubles lifted! God is GOOD! So now, I'm listening to this song, and just relaxing, right?
Please know that someone is praying for you. Thank God, He doesn't expect perfection. He knows what we're made up, and that we're just weak, human clay, sinful at best. But what He sees and cares about is your heart. "As many as received Him (including you), to them gave He the power to become the sons (and daughters) of God." John 1:12
A young man from our neighborhood recently passed away in a sad silo accident. He was only eighteen and a senior in high school. Right away I thought of this song. He was so strong in his faith that I know that the Lord is with him and they are watching over us.
Sparrows are tiny birds, easily dismissed or overlooked. "His eye is on the sparrow" means that God is aware of and cares for these tiny creatures...so we can be assured that he cares for us so much more. I would guess that this song stems from the verse in the Bible, Matthew 6:26, where Jesus said "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
That made me tear up, what a beautiful passage, God telling us how silly we are in how we cannot comprehend our love for them, and that he loves every lash on our eyes, and every fibre of our being.
I'm so glad my Father in heaven watches over me all the time. What a blessed assurance to know that no matter how our lives are, He is always there to look after us. If He watches the sparrow, what more we humans? Thank you Lord for everything! I love You!
I don't care about the religious connotation. I am not here to listen to preaching or allegory. I am here to listen to a beautiful song and two stunning voices.
Wow! This song is amazing, uplifting and inspiring! It says it all his eyes on the sparrow! This song touches me deep in the heart and the love I have for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Lauren Hill and Tanya killed this song, they have powerful voices! Lauren Hill is an amazing artist, what a great voice and I love her music very much!
I am a 29 year old man and every time i hear this song i get emotional,i played this song at my uncles funeral a year ago and you should have seen how many people asked me where i got it at.This song is a true inspiration to all those who just need to be lifted up and need that song that can bring some joy to your life......FROM:-One Soft Hearted Momma's Boy!!!!!
i didnt know that someone could have a heart so cold that they would even consider disliking this song. It expresses the wonderful relationship you could have with God if you keep just your eye on the sparrow. I personally love this song. Lauryn and Tanya deliver it beautifully. Everytime i hear it it reminds me of Jesus' love for me and that i shouldnt feel down. Especially when he watches over me.And at the end of the day, he is the only one i can completely rely on. God Bless you, @eric311.
I am glad that I can say that I can depend of the Lord to watch me. When I am going through a tough time he holds my hand and takes me through it. I give Him all of hte paise and glory. He is worthy. -Amen
The music is beautifully understated and they compliment each other well. The way the song ends, with the music swelling against their harmonies, reminds me of the musicals in the 60's..... BEAUTIFUL!!!
Absolutely! I am a singer and can sing circles around most of the huge artists out today; I can go above, below, stronger, and more pronounced than most. BUT, there are some singers who, no matter what, have such an amazingly beautiful voice that all we wanna hear it just that. Lauryn, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Patty, etc. (not saying they have the same voice, but, such distinct voices) just send such chills up our spines that they cannot be replaced by anyone. I envy and admire that!
Movie or no...this is the best version of this song I've ever heard. They know how to do it, they know what it means, and they FEEL it and make you feel it too.
"When Jesus is my portion, a constant friend is he. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he is watching over me" -For this I know I'll be alright, my dad played this on his sax at my brothers funeral. He had to bury his only son who died at 37. I will have this song as a part of my life forever. R.I.P Brother Malaki.
The beauty in this song is also in the meaning, the ability to know the lord is always watching over us in our time of need the same as he watches something as small as a sparrow as sarjonseli said Matt 10:29-31 He cares if even a sparrow falls; so how much more must he care for you. and also the serene vocals of lauryn hill and tanya blount makes this song soo mesmorising.
I'm going to sing this song on the 21 or 28 January in my church. I'm a girl and I'm french and I very like this song, because it's very beautiful ! ♥ It's the reason why i'm going to sing it, and I know Jesus is with me.
Gosh, the one song from Sister Act II that should have been sung in it's entirety, but wasn't. Thankfully, we have it here. It brings a tear to my eye.
I sang this at my Mom's funeral with my niece. Rest in PERFECT peace Erma Lee Lewis, your baby boy Winfred, I Love you ALWAYS until we sing it together in Heaven.
How Beautiful Both your voices are . My brother passed away christmas and I could not help remembering this song as he watched over my brother when he was alive and when he passed . God Bless You in all you do.
Always one of my favorite songs. I grew up listening to Southern Gospel. As I get older my faith grows stronger. When my life is in turmoil my love for Him is dearer. I know I'm not walking alone. He's carrying me through those times. He's my blessed Father and I praise him! I can't sing, but I can worship as I listen to such beautiful, uplifting music!
Both incredible singers, but hands down Lauryn Hill just had me at Jesus aye. Honestly she is so gifted, singing is a gift, not everbody in the world can sing. But she is blessed singing for the Lord.
Hallelujah! Thank God for our LOVING SAVIOUR, JESUS! He's AWESOME like that, to watch over lil ole me, amongst holding the worlds in place and caring for each of us!
the people who disliked this, must have felt a mighty stiring in thier spirit that they just wanted to supress......!! im sure it's not that they did not like the music, but the fact they felt God calling out to them.....and couldn't hack it. Do not harden your hearts to the Lord Jesus, He is extending His love to you.
WOW!That is such a great way to look at this song and every song thats honors our Lord Jesus Christ.Thank you for leaving that comment because in doing so you have become a blessing to me.Your awesome!God bless you!
everytime i listen to the soundtrack or watch the movie when they sing i always cry...i mean i was about 4 when this movie came out and it reminded me of the songs the women at my church sang....beautiful music and no talent wasted here!!!!
first time i heard this version of HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW!!!!!! I KNEW THIS WAS THE BEST VERSION EVER.......IT SOUNDS SO DEEP IT GOES DEEPER THEN THE SOUL THAT IT REACHES THE SPIRIT!!!
The funny thing is, I love this song with so much of my heart :) Even though I've been scarred by religion. I agree, there is no way that any one with any taste in music or even a good understanding of themselves could dislike this beautiful song.
God's always has his eye on you no matter what's going on what you are going through he is always looking over you so never feel like you are not being watched nor cared about your mom dad aunt uncle grandma grandpa who ever may not be watching you GOD is so love him believe in him and trust him keep him with you at all times!!!!
I have absolutely no faith, I never have and I likely never will. Havng said that, I absolutely love gospal music in all forms, it has a therapeutic quality that cannot be denied. Maybe it is simply Lauren Hills marvelous voice, maybe it's the tone of the whole song, but this is just beyond beautiful.

But what He sees and cares about is your heart. "As many as received Him (including you), to them gave He the power to become the sons (and daughters) of God." John 1:12
even an atheist could love this here, a tribute to someone so admired & cherished & loved...regardless of religion or not indeed. music touches!

AMEN
The world slept on Tanya Blount for REAL! She and Lauryn Hill have 2 of the best alto voices I have ever heard.
i just lost my nephew ..and i beleive this is most appropriate and most comforting...may GOD blessall who listen to this
I'm so glad my Father in heaven watches over me all the time. What a blessed assurance to know that no matter how our lives are, He is always there to look after us. If He watches the sparrow, what more we humans? Thank you Lord for everything! I love You!
Confession: I legitimately enjoy Sister Act 2. Lauryn Hill & Tanya Blount's duet of His Eye is On the Sparrow rules.
Chris Zalamia You have good taste in music.. Be well..
Given honor to the father the son and the Holy Spirit I know this morning he watches over me and I thank you my father and the son I'm blessed..
I don't care about the religious connotation. I am not here to listen to preaching or allegory. I am here to listen to a beautiful song and two stunning voices.
The best version of this song ever produced!!! Amen!
As of now this has been a song that I play over and over as I pray for those that do not have faith in Jesus yet!
Sly and family Stone brought me here Blessings and Hugs 👑💜

Brings back good memories..... :) sister act is a unreplaceable movie :)
This song is a memory. I heard an alto woman sing this song and it remedied me of when we spent time in the nursing home where she worked.
I am glad that I can say that I can depend of the Lord to watch me. When I am going through a tough time he holds my hand and takes me through it. I give Him all of hte paise and glory. He is worthy. -Amen
The music is beautifully understated and they compliment each other well. The way the song ends, with the music swelling against their harmonies, reminds me of the musicals in the 60's..... BEAUTIFUL!!!
I'm so glad this song is on you tube and Lord i hear what you or saying and am on my way back home where i belong in your arms Thank You

I was a kid when this film out in the theater and I still listen to the soundtrack. It's so uplifting.
