You are only a year older than my only son.Remember life is a gift...It can be beautiful.Strive to be HAPPY!! Find something that you are passionate about that is positive and focus your time and energy on it.God will see you through..
Someome told me recently that the depression demom wouldn't bother me so but I have a purpose in this life and he wants to stop it. Start thinking of everything you grateful for and thank God! Depression demons will flee. Therapy and meds can help too.
I am surviving cancer everyday. Everyone around me is busy on the go living their life I’m mostly at home or church because my immune system is so low from chemo. But Satan is a liar with God I am never alone. Everyday that he spares me is time spent with him. My season of strength is in the hand of God. One day I will ride my bicycle and run outside with my children. They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength. This song helps me to understand that if God takes time out to provide and care for a bird. I know he will watch over me for the rest of my days❤️
I saw your post and felt really compelled to send you a message in solidarity. I have been diagnosed with the C word last Friday; 5 days after my Mum passed away. Too much to take in at once. I never thought that word would relate to me in any way. I too have children, whom I love more than anything, but this is my fight and I have to do it for myself, though not by myself. You are not alone. I pray for your strength, healing and recovery; for myself also. God definitely has his eye on you and on me. Cling to him. He is our salvation. God's blessings on you and your family. May he also work through the medical professionals carrying out your treatment. Amen 🙏🙌
Amen in the name of Jesus I pray the peace of the Holy Spirit will cover you and your family as you armor up for the battle of your life. May every tear,every sleepless night every u spoken word be unto the glory of God! This will be your testimony my sister be strong and know that you have a whole team of brothers and sisters fighting right beside you in prayer.
My sweet mother was promoted to glory just yesterday 6/2/2019. She had a breathtakingly beautiful voice and this was one of my favorites to hear coming from her. It brings me comfort today.
Misty Martel May Our Gracious Father send His Comforter to console you and bring your family His Peace as you remember her life and celebrate her legacy in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Misty May Jesus give your heart peace...my momma went to rest in March...I need God to lift me up too..may God make us strong and fearless.and always remember Momma!
I am 30 years old Japanese who live in Japan. I fell in love with this song from Sister Act 2 when I was 10. I learned that just listening to the song brings tears to my eyes. As soon as I found out there was a long version, I bought the soundtrack. That's the first CD I bought. I was not a Christian and even didn’t know any English word at the time, but I could feel God when I listen to this song. Their singing voice is a gift from God.
Hello Sweetheart, I'm a 65 yo Black Grandma. It's been a year since you wrote this wonderful post. I love what you said. I'm sure you can sing this song and speak English by now. 😘 YOU ARE A BLESSING ✝️🙏👑
I survived a stroke and had to learn to read, write, walk and talk again but let me tell you this, He has been the greatest portion of joy in my life, the laughter in the greatest sorrow, the joy in the depths of the most insurmountable mountains of challenges and yet in all in all He has brought me to the highest of heights. My heart is ever grateful and now I am practicing parkour, making paintings, giving public speeches, doing martial arts demonstrations and much much more. His eye is on the sparrow and I know without a doubt He watches me.
I remember always being annoyed that this song was cut short on Sister Act. These two women both have two of the best voices of all time and together, they compliment each other so well! I'm glad I found this full version, as I didn't know it existed until now. :)
I agree this song was cut way too short on sister act 2 best version everrr by 2 awesome voices blending together. This song blesses my soul everytime I hear it! To God be the glory!
@@christinawatkinsyoutube Just thought I’d say - I’ve just recently watched your testimony video on here and enjoyed listening to your story. It’s quite similar to mine actually. I found my way back to God last year and have been going to a church in the UK since. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.
I have skitzo affective disorder which is basically bipolar and schizophrenia and I love these old songs they give me comfort when I am struggling but after living in a psychiatric hospital for a few years I'm finely stable and I'm expecting my 3rd child :) It took alot to get to where I am and I couldnt have done it without the love and strength from the almighty father God 💙
My mom died last October. She barely understood English, but she loved this song. She understood it. She got it. I cry whenever I hear it. It reminds me of her.
It reminds me of my beautiful daughter who was killed by a drunk driver in 2014, her and my son in law and aunt all three lost their lives. this song makes me cry every time. it reminds me of her. we used to sing it together. I love you Tenice Robertson. I miss you baby.
My sister just passed away at 43 due to cancer and other complications within her troubled life. She sang this song beautifully and it was her favorite. Rest peacefully sister. I love you forever.❤
Almost 2 yrs ago, I had been diagnosed with a life threatening allergic reaction that almost claimed my life. I was treated and healed in 2 days with no complications afterwards. I'm truly blessed to have been saved from death.. I listen to this and it has a meaning to me that He was watching and heard every prayer that came to him.. I'm hear because of Him.
Can I tell you something without you judging me the night I was healed? I swear I could feel the hand of Christ healing me. Before I was healed, I had a turn for the worse and I could feel my body giving out. At 2 AM I could feel something touch me and all of it was gone.
The sparrow was considered one of the most insignificant birds of the Bible If his eye is on something as insignificant as a little bird how much more of value are you! He see's you ans he cares!
I'm so eager to restore my relationship with the Lord. I promise God and myself I won't astray again. Thank you Heavenly Father for 2ND chances and endless Love!
I’m 39 years old now but when I was 37 I found out I had breast cancer but from God I definitely received blessings. I say that because I was strong enough to get through chemotherapy an ordered to do surgery so the lump could be removed and it was done successfully with the blessings of God and I see that God is always on time.
"I sing because I'm happy" - Best line. Such a powerful song...We just performed this tonight in SF in front of a group of women who were abused, who struggle with drugs and alcohol, who've had troubled lives...The story behind this song is based on the bible verse Matthew 6:25-26, that God knows when even a sparrow falls, so surely He's watching over you. So, no matter what's going on in your life right now...No matter what road you've been on, whether good or bad, He's still watching over you and He still loves you. Don't let any man on this planet, whether a priest or frequent church goer tell you otherwise...You ARE loved and you ALWAYS will be. †
Vee Aye You are welcome! You have an amazingly beautiful smile, so make sure it's always shining bright, because your mere smile or presence could alter someone's life completely :)
Please lord take the anxiety from my mind and the fear. God has blessed me with my first opportunity to do research and really prove my worth as a scientist for the first time. I met with my research professor today and felt overwhelmed by all of the things that I did not know. But I am blessed for the chance to learn which is the whole reason I'm at college. I don't want to be afraid. I know that you are with me. Thank you for my life and the many blessings you've given me and I hope that I can reach the potential that you see in me.
May God bless you Maya. Study hard and find your passion. From one scientist to another, allow Him to use your skills as a scientist and researcher for His plan.
+Maya Andrea - Trust God Maya, He knows what you have need of and promised to never leave nor forsake you. Ask Him daily to walk before you and let you follow. Remember He is Jehovah Jireh, God Your Provider. Trust Him.
+Maya Andrea You are on the right path at the right time, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. And you will be at your destination before you know it.
Angel Moore I hope everything works out for you, I hate to put out my dirty Landry, but this year is so hard, I feel like my whole world is coming down on me hard!! I just want it all to go away and for some reason this song seems to help a lot, hope it helps everyone else who comes across it.
@@protoex516 thanks I hope the same for you this song gives me a lot of peace I've dealt with a lot of health issues and lost my dad a couple years ago
Angel Moore I lost my mom a few years ago and now I think I’m loosing my marriage of 8 years and just listening to this song Makes me feel like I do matter in some way.
I can’t hear this song in such a meaningful rendition without crying. God has blessed me for 54 yrs, thru my madness, messes, anger, happiness, accomplishes, trials, tribulations, loss & fears. I know I’m not worthy of His goodness when so many are suffering & grieving something or someone one way or another but yet His Eye Is On This Sparrow & I Know He Watches Me. I pray for everyone. Most importantly He is most ever present in my loneliness. I pass this on, in your loneliness when you feel your loved ones, your friends care about you the least, that’s when you pray harder. The mind is a fragile organ. Give Him thanks even when it’s the last thing you want to do. HE GOT YOU!! ❤️
funny I been under attack 2x's cancer, numerous back surgeries from car accidents, multiple hospitalizations i sit here today not a fallen warrior, an evangelist, prison chaplain su and thinking about my dear friend Marnie, she is recovering but has lost her strength to function due to the chemo, i sent her this song as a reminder, that He Lives and we are being carried on his back in the sands of life of tormenting from lucifer's angels
The Lord healed me of anorexia when I was 30 years old. It controlled me for 12 years, stealing my peace and joy. ..and my health. I had heart failure when I was 22 years old. But, I read if God makes sure the birds are fed every day, surely He cares for me and will take care of me. I recited the verse behind this song every day for 30 days...and praise God! I was forever healed of anorexia that had ahold of my mind and body! I am a witness that God's Word will heal your body, soul, mind. I am now a 55 year old nurse, wife, and Grandmother. I have a life full of peace and joy! Thank you Lord. I am forever grateful.
I lost both my parents in 2019.. 6 months apart.. and they both loved this song. This brings me peace. Thank you Lord for these ladies beautiful voices. I know this song touched so many souls over the years!
I still get chills each time I listen to this arrangement with Lauren & Tonya’s vocals. I will never forgot going to see Sister Act II at the movie theater (that’s how old I am). I sat in the theater with tears streaming down my face. I didn’t leave the theater, I watched it again. When I left, I went to the record store and bought the soundtrack album & cassette tape for my car. That was 1993. I became a Lauren Hill fan for life. Three years later my daughter was born. She had a terminal illness & passed away a year later. There was only one song I wanted played at her memorial. My niece & her friend did this exact arrangement beautifully. I’m forever touched & comforted by this song, the lyrics & these two spiritually gifted artists.
My heart breaks for and with yours. I know a pain like yours. Music gives me some comfort as well as tears when I think of my daughter (which is every minute of every day).
I have such struggles with religion, but when I listen to this the Lord overflows me with purpose, with comfort, I can't explain the feeling but he knows I'm struggling and he is there to help.
Dont stress over something as stupid as religion.... The music is worth more than your imaginary friend in the sky....enjoy it for what it is ..... 2 women with fucking beautiful voices.
@@djf5756 I must admit, I listen to a lot of religious music. There is a stark beauty in absolute faith. Something we will probably never experience. If they don't harm us, why be belligerent. Let 'em have it if they do though.
It's not about religion. It's about relationship. He desires to have a personal relationship with you. Seek him for yourself and you will find him. Ask more from him and he will show you, enlighten and reveal himself to you. Don't let people and how they handle things and how they can be hypocrites, affect your relationship with GOD. He wants to transform every area of your life. I pray GODS peace that passes all understanding guards your heart and mind. And the love and fellowship of the holy spirit be amongst you and remain with you always. In Jesus name Amen
@@ryleytylerfrancis9730 I really needed to hear this. Religion made me run from my faith for the past 10 years but I have been feeling God trying to reach me lately and I want that relationship back. Anyways reading your comment while listening to this song made me cry and remember how I miss talking to Him.🥹
I am 26 years old last year I had medical problems, it was so bad that I fainted, lost weight, I was afraid to eat. I cried every day praying to the lord to heal me, I was also not accepted into the university abroad. I cried for months but never gave up. Guess what 2024 my health is better than ever & I'm also going to study abroad within 3 days. God works miracles and he hears our prayers.
I was feeling weak and depressed but after hearing this I am strengthened , nothing I go through can compare to what Jesus Christ did for me . I love you Jesus my Lord and my King
This song brings tears to my eyes, It is so remarkably beautiful. It was the last song I played on the violin for my Grandfather's funeral... My Aunt was at the piano. We played it because our Family name means Sparrow in Polish - where our ancestors came from. It was a beautiful tribute to his memory, and it was a privilege to play.
+Maxi Rodriguez (SimcA) I pray for your peace and guidance; God loves the world and He is ever present in everything. This is a beautiful song about His love for us. Be blessed. In Jesus name, Amen!
My grandma just suffered from a massive stroke and isn’t doing good. She’s actual in ICU right now. She is a very Godly woman and this is her favorite song. I’m hoping it can bring me comfortable. Please keep her and my family in your prayers. EDIT: She went to see the Lord on June 25th, 2019. My family decided that’s what she wanted more than anything, and it wasn’t definite that she was going to get any better. It was probably the best birthday gift she could have ever gotten (her birthday was June 15th.) It has been the hardest thing to watch her pass, and I have struggled these past few days after her funeral. She was my second mother, my best friend, my healer, and my rock. This song and talking with God has helped me heal little by little. I know that she is in a better place now and I am at peace with her passing. Thank you to all who have prayed and continue to pray for me and my family during this difficult time.❤️
Megan, I find your comment now in a time where I'm seeking refuge in God due to a similar circumstance.. My dear grandpa is in the hospital from a stroke he had a week ago & it's not looking good. I'm overwhelmed with pain today but by the grace of God I've found this song and your comment here and it's providing me much needed solace. Thank you for sharing your story here.
Ramona Allen Awwwww Thats Priceless!!!!! Keep Encourage your niece not only her children... Because they needs Us to Let them know and Believing God ALMIGHTY in Heaven is Real and His Love Endurance forever!!! Thank you for sharing😄
I am not a Christian and this song even puts tears in my eye ! Lauren and Tanya s amazing voice makes this song so captivating and make you feel that all the bad things happening in world can still be fixed if we have love for each other and all other things on this planet. Never let that love and compassion leave your side. !
The only one who comes to mind is Tarriona "Tank" Ball. Not exactly the same style but she has insane pipes, is pure emotion and raps like it's 1999 without trying to emulate testosteron. A bit too theatrical for my liking but the skills are undeniable.
Tamille...tysm for your words! I still can't listen to this song w/o tears... He & i used to sing it together & my cousin sung it @ his funeral for me... I'm just soo tired of doing this w/o him. I'm honestly contemplating ending it all tonight just to be with him. 💔
Kathryn Mills Hello sweetheart. Please KEEP YOUR HEAD UP 😇 . I pray that this will encourage you to hold on to your life. Whenever you start to feel that way say, this prayer everytime and everyday: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1, NIV) Keep your head up Always😘sweetie. Take care
My Grandmother died today. 86 years old. All she ever wanted was to leave this earth peacefully and not be a burden. God granted her prayers. She had the most painless and peaceful ending. I will see you in heaven my Nanay.
It’s my birthday today and i woke up this morning and had this song in my head and knew that I had to hear it. Listening to it made me emotional as I sit and think how blessed I am and I know it’s because he watches me!!!!!
Best version of this song I've ever heard...tears are just rolling dwn my cheeks..its 6:45am Sunday Jan 19th 2020..God stay with us all...there's a shift here on Earth, & it doesn't feel good...I need u, we need u, we love u & Jesus Christ❤
I love this song, this is the song that I sung at my grandfather's funeral. My grandfather suffered before he died, but I sing now because he is free. I'm so happy. Also I sing because I'm also free and I am so grateful to be alive . I just wanna take the time out in my day to personally thank Jesus Christ for allowing me to wake up this morning in my right state of mind; more over, to be clean from my pill addiction, alcohol, and marijuana as well. Again thank you Lord that I am now free and so happy. I was so lost but now I am found. I once was lost but now I can see myself and the world for what it really is. Amen, and Halleluja.
I'm a moslem, but when I first heard this song back in junior high school, I did not know why but I cried. I did not even know the lyrics, as English is not my first language. I guess there is something about the melody and Tanya' & Lauryn's voices. It soothes me. So soft yet so powerful.
I was raised Christian, but now I'm atheist, and I love this song too. Sometimes I go back to music that I was raised with and I can still connect with people from when I was a believer with songs from back in those old days!
I'm from Hong Kong I don't have a particular belief, but I consider myself quite open to any worldview. Each world view is a painting, and combining those altogether forms a beautiful gallery. And I think I am the one watching in the gallery. I love the songs written by Christian songwriter so much. particular the hymns produced in the 1830-1920 era like this and "Nearer My God", "Amazing Grace" and many others. I myself even arranged some of these songs
God I can’t do this anymore!! PLEASE hear my cries Lord!!! I’m STRUGGLING!!! I just want my family to be where it should be, even if I’m not here to see it.
I pray for god to bless you with CLARITY UNDERSTANDING AND PEACE. Hunny you are EXACTLY where GOD has intended you to be. He gives us STRUGGLES to make us stronger pain so we know sorrow and suffering so that we may have COMPASSION. Although your FAMILY isn't where you want it to be keep PRAYING FOR THEM AND ALSO YOUR SELF AS WILL I. KEEP THE FAITH EVEN WHEN THE PATH IS UNCLEAR. REMEMBER WHATS MEANT TO BE WILL BE REGARDLESS ITS THE THINGS WE FORCE TOGETHER THAT FALL PART ANYWAYS. MUCH LOVE #KEEP. PRAYING #HE. LIVES
My kids are in their twenties now and if I put this on....they are reduced to silence....and then the tears come. I know I filled their souls with goodness 😍
My mom played this song incessantly incessantly when her MOM died ; and now I play it for her. Rest easy Mommy love you forever and ever after that ❤ 💗
I love this song in my dad’s final hours as I was walking outside the Lord gave me this song and I began to sing it each time I got stronger and stronger.when he took his last breathe I felt a calmness. I asked my 11 year old twin granddaughters to learn this song. My ❤ and 🙏🏽 are for your strength and God to continue to comfort you
@W Jordan You know what though. We are all one period. I've met twins from Nigeria they are black albino which is common. This is how white skin started from the blacks. So please dont divide us because we actually arnt divided but people keep the whole racism thing alive by being ignorant !!
@Imani Alexander i never said all white people are albino's ??? Im confused with your statement. I said the white race began with the black race by having melanin or albino occur with their skin. I have learned this from a black historian that explains in his lectures about how the white skin exists as all people in whatever yrs he was speaking about were all black. Also showed in his lectures different tribes of the black race , having blonde hair naturally but the skin was black, or having blue eyes but with black skin. I actually met a fella who was our Coke Cola delivery guy he had really dark black skin but with blue eyes. U don't see that often but I knew it existed but only because again I was learning from this historian. But I asked the man anyways I said "Are those contacts you're wearing ? He said no. I was like wow that's so awesome and neat I said I've been learning about history and learning about how we all originated in Africa and everybody was black and how the white race began through them. He smiled and said yes that's correct .
I'm here because I lost my grandmother 13 1/2 hours ago and this song is such a comfort and Lauren and Tanya's rendition is the best. This song is possibly the most beautiful hymn ever written, and this is by far the most beautiful rendition of this amazing hymn.
The world missed out on these two being a duo. Their blend is so fantastic and I will always love their version of this song best. I've been playing it since I saw that movie in the 90s. So heavenly. Literally!
Why should I feel discouraged Why should the shadows come Why should my heart feel lonely And long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion A constant friend is He His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches I know He watches I know He watches me I sing because I´m happy I sing because I´m free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) He watches me I know He watches Me
In times like these we are to affirm our faith more than anything, God is watching over us and He is the one who created the Heavens and the Earth, so He knows and is in Charge we need to let Him take the place in our hearts and minds and let him to what he does best.
In times like this I know God is watching us and I pray for peace and for those who are grieving peace and faith and hope we can get through this with the help of God he is my salvation and he is helping me through this terrible time he had helped me through the last few months after the loss of a friend from the virus but I know with faith hope and faith it will be on
I just finished prayer and this is throne coming to my spirit and I am singing it loud now because God has something great for me as this year runs to and end.... His eyes us on the sparrow, and I know He watches over meeeeee
miss the 90s... that music gave us hope back then... sister act pt 2 was the best movie when i was 3 years old... they've given me a reason to sing & love others as i loved myself & still to this day i'm in love with this movie... i miss movies like this... this is such a blessing from God
yes... i'm an original 90's baby.... i was born in 90.... music was so purifying & so touching... i miss this kinda setting... but @ least the history still lives on... but today's can't compare to yesteryear
+Daniela Marmo Well don't waist the blessing The lord has prepared for you. for we will see miracles greater than what was prepared before in his time when he walked upon the face of the earth. amen.
I played this for my father at his funeral. It brings me to tears Everytime I hear it. This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free. I always felt my father saying that to me because he was free!
I remember this from the Sister Act 2 movie & fell in love with it. I listened to it over and over on tape cassette, then CD, and now we got TH-cam! Good music endures.
Asked to have this song played at my Mum’s funeral, shortly after she passed, late November 2019. Reminded me so much of her brave spirit, and was the first song that came to mind. My Dad, surprisingly, told me during our phone call, when looking at her recent internet history - selecting songs for her funeral - she was watching this video the same time I was (weeks before she, suddenly, passed away at 53). This song helps so much, reminding me of our connection, during this devastating time. RIP my “twin” Mum. My heart is truly broken. I cannot stop crying for you. We love and miss you so much. xxxxxx
My friend was promoted to heaven after a battle with the virus but I know she is happy and pain free but I will miss her forever rip beautiful lady sleep and rest and know your in our hearts forever
You can see your friend again in heaven so make sure you make it to heaven! You two will have eternity to continue your friendship as well as being with your families and other friends plus enjoying everything heaven has to offer 🙂!!!
Who's watching this in April 2020? Especially at a time when the world is undergoing the most testing time? Don't you think that this song becomes that much more relevant?
Praise God ...this is a Beautiful song.... His Eye on the Sparrow...meaning God is with me in all my ups and downs...He paid the victory...we all need to examine ourselves and come to Jesus Christ.
This song has brought me through the darkest of nights. Not the people singing or the lyrics.. but the reminder that Jesus is my portion. A CONSTANT friend is he. His eye is on the sparrow. And I KNOW he watches me...❤️❤️❤️

Whenever i listen to this gem i have gooseflesh and i wish i were black to be able to sing Gospel. I LOVE LAURYN HILL and her sultry voice.it is gold!! This song is gold.. Greetings from France and be blessed Lauryn!
Diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2016. Yesterday on my Birthday 1/16/25 diagnosed with Liver Cancer. Praising God for watching this Sparrow. Today this song has special meaning To anyone going through a life alternating situation pray for the Faith of Jesus. Blessings everyone
If God is good, why did he make the devil which is evil? God created luicifer from his own Darkness, which he hides. God is a two faced evil hypocrite who punishes people for being good and rewards people for being fake and evil, just look at the world around us, and then we are programmed to think "one day they will go to Hell, and we will go to Heaven" as if Life is just a constant War between Good and Evil and the cycle just perpetuates. But REALLY Life is just a constant Sharing Battery Charger of Good and Evil that God's SICK evil two faced hypocrite self feeds off of like a battery charger. He never died for anyone's sins, he lied from his Sin and blamed that on everyone else's Sins. God is a sick evil hypocrite, if God is perfect, why did he make the devil, which was a Mistake? Don't you FIX Mistakes after you make them? Perpetuating the concept OF perfection? But God never did this, because he created this world for his own sick purpose. He is a Liar and he is Dead......
The devil turned evil himself-idiot! God is great and he gave man free will. He didnt program us like fucking robots. Man (and woman) screwed everything up and the chain of motion was set when the fruit was picked from the tree of knowledge-which we had no business stealing from after given specific directions not to do so. The "devil"(evil) was once an angel and he was jealous of God so he started being shady. Seriously......chill the fuck out and have some respect for our Lord.
This song, touched my heart. The comments in this comment section. Such testimonies. God is so good,and in everything. His beauty knows no bounds. Father God,I just praise you and worship your Holy name. God bless all who read this, and those who don't as well. 💖💖
I don’t know how many times this has guided me out of my darkness. I can’t explain it, and although I might know God personally, I can feel something constantly reminding me that there is good even in midst of adversity, that I possess the strength even when I feel weka and powerless. That I am never truly lost, just too stubborn to accept that this life and its trials were given to test and guide me. If that is what Christians call God, then I believe He has always been with me … and he has given me an opportunity to discover my freedom.
He's watching us as we go through this trying time. May the God of peace, comfort and mercy carry us through. The best version of this song that I've ever heard.
I cry when I hear these songs from our youth. We should have protected them from the wolves in sheep clothing. Their angelic voices in harmony, now I understand how David played songs to soothe King Sauls soul as he was being tormented in his mind by evil spirits (Samuel 16:14 - 23).
I played this song for my mom while she was transitioning to Heaven, I know the pain you're in, but remember God will have the final say 🙏 He is Nye to those with a broken heart and such be of a contrite spirit.
Dion Sulcer these days I’ve been praying to God : overcome my unbelief. I feel so lonely and depressed. And I say to Jesus so many times I’m so tired and still I couldn’t fall into sleep. And why Lord? I have no answers...
Mr. Ken Fung Greetings to you. Have you made the LORD Jesus Christ your LORD, SAVIOR, and REDEEMER? According to Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) "He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Amen. The LORD is well able to heal you of insomnia just put your trust and hope in Him. He won't let you down. Have a great weekend. ☺
Ken Fung God loves you more that you could ever imagine. Rest in that assurance. Pray to understand why you are having a hard time falling asleep. Just keep praying, don't give up, sometimes answers to prayer are hindered like Daniel's, we don't understand from down here. But never give up, He cares for you watchfully and affectionately!
Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely and long for heaven and home? When Jesus is my portion A constant friend is he.. His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches(I know he watches) I know he watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me(he watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me (he watches me) (he watches me) I know he watches me
I just helped a little sparrow and was able to find a beautiful lady at my job to rescue it. I feel so grateful to be a part of this saving grace for this sparrow. And my mind came to this song. 2024 Blessings!!! Hallelujah!

when you feel like giving up let Jesus carry you through the sorrow , I'm so sorry for your loss. I know your baby is safe in heaven and protected from the evil that is in this world and you will see her again one day in heaven. I'm praying for you.
Simone, I don't know you, but I feel your pain as a dad of 3 girls! I'll be praying for you. There is yet a balm from Gilead that healeth thee and makes you whole ... though we see in part, God will yet be glorified in this. courage!

I am surviving cancer everyday. Everyone around me is busy on the go living their life I’m mostly at home or church because my immune system is so low from chemo. But Satan is a liar with God I am never alone. Everyday that he spares me is time spent with him. My season of strength is in the hand of God. One day I will ride my bicycle and run outside with my children. They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength. This song helps me to understand that if God takes time out to provide and care for a bird. I know he will watch over me for the rest of my days❤️
I pray for your healing and renewal of strength In Jesus Name!!
Antonio Pearson Amen brother❤️
@Kia Hampton, I encourage you to do a Google search for "cancer, natural cures"
Reversing this condition naturally can and has been done
I saw your post and felt really compelled to send you a message in solidarity.
I have been diagnosed with the C word last Friday; 5 days after my Mum passed away. Too much to take in at once.
I never thought that word would relate to me in any way.
I too have children, whom I love more than anything, but this is my fight and I have to do it for myself, though not by myself. You are not alone.
I pray for your strength, healing and recovery; for myself also. God definitely has his eye on you and on me. Cling to him. He is our salvation.
God's blessings on you and your family. May he also work through the medical professionals carrying out your treatment. Amen 🙏🙌
Amen in the name of Jesus I pray the peace of the Holy Spirit will cover you and your family as you armor up for the battle of your life. May every tear,every sleepless night every u spoken word be unto the glory of God! This will be your testimony my sister be strong and know that you have a whole team of brothers and sisters fighting right beside you in prayer.
My sweet mother was promoted to glory just yesterday 6/2/2019. She had a breathtakingly beautiful voice and this was one of my favorites to hear coming from her. It brings me comfort today.
My condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace. 🙏
May she rest in heaven
Misty Martel May Our Gracious Father send His Comforter to console you and bring your family His Peace as you remember her life and celebrate her legacy in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I am 30 years old Japanese who live in Japan.
I fell in love with this song from Sister Act 2 when I was 10.
I learned that just listening to the song brings tears to my eyes.
As soon as I found out there was a long version, I bought the soundtrack. That's the first CD I bought.
I was not a Christian and even didn’t know any English word at the time, but I could feel God when I listen to this song.
Their singing voice is a gift from God.
God continue to bless you on your journey. This was one of my mommy's favorite songs to sing and she sang it like an angel.
Hello Sweetheart,
I'm a 65 yo Black Grandma. It's been a year since you wrote this wonderful post. I love what you said. I'm sure you can sing this song and speak English by now. 😘
YOU ARE A BLESSING ✝️🙏👑
That's how you know that he exists 💕
That’s beautiful ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
I survived a stroke and had to learn to read, write, walk and talk again but let me tell you this, He has been the greatest portion of joy in my life, the laughter in the greatest sorrow, the joy in the depths of the most insurmountable mountains of challenges and yet in all in all He has brought me to the highest of heights. My heart is ever grateful and now I am practicing parkour, making paintings, giving public speeches, doing martial arts demonstrations and much much more. His eye is on the sparrow and I know without a doubt He watches me.
Hallelujah Thank You Jesus. He's watching over you.
Thank you for your testimony in Jesus name. Hallelujah.
Edilma Norville Bless you!!!
Amen
Amen
Celeste Mills Amen
Lauryn's vocal tone gave me chills. Incredible testimony (performance) by both women.
I thought it was the best rendition I ever heard
I survived cancer and Covid. When I was in the hospital with Covid I listened to this song over and over again. God is good. 🙏🏾😍
God bless you even more 🦋🌾🌾🌾🌾❤️❤️❤️
Yes he is! All the time!
God bless you.
Amen sister!!
God bless you
I remember always being annoyed that this song was cut short on Sister Act. These two women both have two of the best voices of all time and together, they compliment each other so well! I'm glad I found this full version, as I didn't know it existed until now. :)
I agree this song was cut way too short on sister act 2 best version everrr by 2 awesome voices blending together. This song blesses my soul everytime I hear it! To God be the glory!
I agree, I was so mad about that haha
@@christinawatkinsyoutube Just thought I’d say - I’ve just recently watched your testimony video on here and enjoyed listening to your story. It’s quite similar to mine actually. I found my way back to God last year and have been going to a church in the UK since. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.
@@christinawatkinsyoutube same.
I’m glad I found this track here after watching the movie this is so soul uplifting
I have skitzo affective disorder which is basically bipolar and schizophrenia and I love these old songs they give me comfort when I am struggling but after living in a psychiatric hospital for a few years I'm finely stable and I'm expecting my 3rd child :) It took alot to get to where I am and I couldnt have done it without the love and strength from the almighty father God 💙
Congrats love stay Blessed up. This thing called life aint easy❤
Praise God almighty.
Prayers love and blessing for you and your children.
@@callherfoofoo Amen to that.

My mom died last October. She barely understood English, but she loved this song. She understood it. She got it. I cry whenever I hear it. It reminds me of her.
🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for sharing that memory. I hope you reunite with her one day.
It reminds me of my beautiful daughter who was killed by a drunk driver in 2014, her and my son in law and aunt all three lost their lives. this song makes me cry every time. it reminds me of her. we used to sing it together. I love you Tenice Robertson. I miss you baby.
awww sweetie bless you
I'm sorry for your lost. I pray that a time will come when you hear this song you will remember her with a smile on your face but not sorrow
The best version of His Eye Is On The Sparrow ever sang. Ever. Period.
1000% agree. Period 😊
Julius Lewis Period!!!!
Totally agree! It’s gorgeous, heartfelt, spiritual, inspiring- heavenly harmonies!
Idk. It definitely gives Isaac Hayes a run for his money though.
Surprised this version isn't on Spotify, Pandora, etc.
My sister just passed away at 43 due to cancer and other complications within her troubled life. She sang this song beautifully and it was her favorite. Rest peacefully sister. I love you forever.❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Your sister will be with Jesus.
🕊️
May our gracious and loving Father rest her soul. My condolences to you and your loved ones🙏🏽💕
she's singing with the angels before YWH's throne
I'm so sorry for your loss sis
Almost 2 yrs ago, I had been diagnosed with a life threatening allergic reaction that almost claimed my life. I was treated and healed in 2 days with no complications afterwards. I'm truly blessed to have been saved from death.. I listen to this and it has a meaning to me that He was watching and heard every prayer that came to him.. I'm hear because of Him.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, mine can come back if I'm not careful with what medications I take.
Can I tell you something without you judging me the night I was healed?
I swear I could feel the hand of Christ healing me. Before I was healed, I had a turn for the worse and I could feel my body giving out. At 2 AM I could feel something touch me and all of it was gone.
Raeyne Jaymeson amen to that
What's is on your profile pic?
The sparrow was considered one of the most insignificant birds of the Bible
If his eye is on something as insignificant as a little bird how much more of value are you! He see's you ans he cares!
Amen
Amen !!! 👏👏👏🥰
Your comment gave me chills! You SAID THAT!! God Bless you always!!
Amen!
Amen
I'm so eager to restore my relationship with the Lord. I promise God and myself I won't astray again. Thank you Heavenly Father for 2ND chances and endless Love!

Thanks brother
He knows us!❤️
He love us inspite of us. He knows the depths of our hearts . Be blessed in the lord.
He will never leave you nor forsake you, He loves you unconditionally.
I’m 39 years old now but when I was 37 I found out I had breast cancer but from God I definitely received blessings. I say that because I was strong enough to get through chemotherapy an ordered to do surgery so the lump could be removed and it was done successfully with the blessings of God and I see that God is always on time.
Amen ❤
Sister act 2
"I sing because I'm happy" - Best line. Such a powerful song...We just performed this tonight in SF in front of a group of women who were abused, who struggle with drugs and alcohol, who've had troubled lives...The story behind this song is based on the bible verse Matthew 6:25-26, that God knows when even a sparrow falls, so surely He's watching over you.
So, no matter what's going on in your life right now...No matter what road you've been on, whether good or bad, He's still watching over you and He still loves you. Don't let any man on this planet, whether a priest or frequent church goer tell you otherwise...You ARE loved and you ALWAYS will be. †
amen! thank you
Vee Aye You are welcome! You have an amazingly beautiful smile, so make sure it's always shining bright, because your mere smile or presence could alter someone's life completely :)
+Nate Kyng thank you. God loves us all. We should always keep the faith. Stay Bless

How can one not get emotional while listening to this? 😭❣️🙏🏾🕊️
Please lord take the anxiety from my mind and the fear. God has blessed me with my first opportunity to do research and really prove my worth as a scientist for the first time. I met with my research professor today and felt overwhelmed by all of the things that I did not know. But I am blessed for the chance to learn which is the whole reason I'm at college. I don't want to be afraid. I know that you are with me. Thank you for my life and the many blessings you've given me and I hope that I can reach the potential that you see in me.
May God bless you Maya. Study hard and find your passion. From one scientist to another, allow Him to use your skills as a scientist and researcher for His plan.
+Maya Andrea Literally same situation here Maya :D I nearly cried with this!! We can do this!!!!!
+Maya Andrea - Trust God Maya, He knows what you have need of and promised to never leave nor forsake you. Ask Him daily to walk before you and let you follow. Remember He is Jehovah Jireh, God Your Provider. Trust Him.
I like this song
+Maya Andrea You are on the right path at the right time, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. And you will be at your destination before you know it.
Anyone else get so overwhelmed listening to this. Can’t stop crying I don’t even know where all the emotion is coming from 😂😢 So beautiful.
I thought I was the only person until I came across this comment I’m glad I’m not alone
Same here I'm a crying wreck right now.
Angel Moore I hope everything works out for you, I hate to put out my dirty Landry, but this year is so hard, I feel like my whole world is coming down on me hard!! I just want it all to go away and for some reason this song seems to help a lot, hope it helps everyone else who comes across it.
@@protoex516 thanks I hope the same for you this song gives me a lot of peace I've dealt with a lot of health issues and lost my dad a couple years ago
Angel Moore I lost my mom a few years ago and now I think I’m loosing my marriage of 8 years and just listening to this song Makes me feel like I do matter in some way.
This is how many people are listening in 2020😌👇🏾
Music for the soul
It just does the right thing to the ear that settle the soul for sure..
Me!
Fireeeeee
Ohh my heart
I'm fighting an illness..I know GOD got me...
Keep your eyes on Him good brotha ❤️
He watches over you,keep your eyes fixed on him and he will do the rest
Just believe ... You are healed!
God will bless you in the name of Jesus
Amen...xxx
I can’t hear this song in such a meaningful rendition without crying. God has blessed me for 54 yrs, thru my madness, messes, anger, happiness, accomplishes, trials, tribulations, loss & fears. I know I’m not worthy of His goodness when so many are suffering & grieving something or someone one way or another but yet His Eye Is On This Sparrow & I Know He Watches Me. I pray for everyone. Most importantly He is most ever present in my loneliness. I pass this on, in your loneliness when you feel your loved ones, your friends care about you the least, that’s when you pray harder. The mind is a fragile organ. Give Him thanks even when it’s the last thing you want to do. HE GOT YOU!! ❤️
Each time l listen to Lauryn Hill's music l feel thrilled
funny I been under attack 2x's cancer, numerous back surgeries from car accidents, multiple hospitalizations i sit here today not a fallen warrior, an evangelist, prison chaplain su and thinking about my dear friend Marnie, she is recovering but has lost her strength to function due to the chemo, i sent her this song as a reminder, that He Lives and we are being carried on his back in the sands of life of tormenting from lucifer's angels
he lives within our heart's
Amen! ❤️
Only Ahayah Yashiya saves 💎💘
Thank you. Needed this
The Lord healed me of anorexia when I was 30 years old. It controlled me for 12 years, stealing my peace and joy.
..and my health. I had heart failure when I was 22 years old. But, I read if God makes sure the birds are fed every day, surely He cares for me and will take care of me. I recited the verse behind this song every day for 30 days...and praise God! I was forever healed of anorexia that had ahold of my mind and body! I am a witness that God's Word will heal your body, soul, mind. I am now a 55 year old nurse, wife, and Grandmother. I have a life full of peace and joy! Thank you Lord. I am forever grateful.

A real testimony......hallelujah amen.....may he continue to watch over you and the family

this makes me cry every time I hear this. two gorgeous voices.
Julia Brooks That Right
Me too!x

I still get chills each time I listen to this arrangement with Lauren & Tonya’s vocals. I will never forgot going to see Sister Act II at the movie theater (that’s how old I am). I sat in the theater with tears streaming down my face. I didn’t leave the theater, I watched it again. When I left, I went to the record store and bought the soundtrack album & cassette tape for my car. That was 1993. I became a Lauren Hill fan for life. Three years later my daughter was born. She had a terminal illness & passed away a year later. There was only one song I wanted played at her memorial. My niece & her friend did this exact arrangement beautifully. I’m forever touched & comforted by this song, the lyrics & these two spiritually gifted artists.
My heart breaks for and with yours. I know a pain like yours. Music gives me some comfort as well as tears when I think of my daughter (which is every minute of every day).
just noticed lauren and tanya switch high and low harmonies at the climactic bits. Love it
Thank you for this....never noticed. I'm blown away.
Stewart M yes they kinda do that in the movie too
This song is fitting for our World right now! My absolute favorite hymn. These two together singing together touch my soul!
Its always been my fave too, lovely rendition of this song
Amen
Amen indeed
I have such struggles with religion, but when I listen to this the Lord overflows me with purpose, with comfort, I can't explain the feeling but he knows I'm struggling and he is there to help.
Dont stress over something as stupid as religion.... The music is worth more than your imaginary friend in the sky....enjoy it for what it is ..... 2 women with fucking beautiful voices.
@@djf5756 I must admit, I listen to a lot of religious music. There is a stark beauty in absolute faith. Something we will probably never experience. If they don't harm us, why be belligerent. Let 'em have it if they do though.
It's not about religion. It's about relationship. He desires to have a personal relationship with you. Seek him for yourself and you will find him. Ask more from him and he will show you, enlighten and reveal himself to you. Don't let people and how they handle things and how they can be hypocrites, affect your relationship with GOD. He wants to transform every area of your life. I pray GODS peace that passes all understanding guards your heart and mind. And the love and fellowship of the holy spirit be amongst you and remain with you always. In Jesus name Amen
@@ryleytylerfrancis9730 I really needed to hear this. Religion made me run from my faith for the past 10 years but I have been feeling God trying to reach me lately and I want that relationship back. Anyways reading your comment while listening to this song made me cry and remember how I miss talking to Him.🥹
I know someone that must hear this song. He would find peace & happiness again & maybe pent up things gone. Give it a try.
I am 26 years old last year I had medical problems, it was so bad that I fainted, lost weight, I was afraid to eat. I cried every day praying to the lord to heal me, I was also not accepted into the university abroad. I cried for months but never gave up. Guess what 2024 my health is better than ever & I'm also going to study abroad within 3 days. God works miracles and he hears our prayers.

This song brings tears to my eyes, It is so remarkably beautiful. It was the last song I played on the violin for my Grandfather's funeral... My Aunt was at the piano. We played it because our Family name means Sparrow in Polish - where our ancestors came from. It was a beautiful tribute to his memory, and it was a privilege to play.

My grandma just suffered from a massive stroke and isn’t doing good. She’s actual in ICU right now. She is a very Godly woman and this is her favorite song. I’m hoping it can bring me comfortable. Please keep her and my family in your prayers.
EDIT: She went to see the Lord on June 25th, 2019. My family decided that’s what she wanted more than anything, and it wasn’t definite that she was going to get any better. It was probably the best birthday gift she could have ever gotten (her birthday was June 15th.) It has been the hardest thing to watch her pass, and I have struggled these past few days after her funeral. She was my second mother, my best friend, my healer, and my rock. This song and talking with God has helped me heal little by little. I know that she is in a better place now and I am at peace with her passing. Thank you to all who have prayed and continue to pray for me and my family during this difficult time.❤️
Megan, I find your comment now in a time where I'm seeking refuge in God due to a similar circumstance.. My dear grandpa is in the hospital from a stroke he had a week ago & it's not looking good. I'm overwhelmed with pain today but by the grace of God I've found this song and your comment here and it's providing me much needed solace. Thank you for sharing your story here.

Lauryn Hills’ voice is like no other. Has been giving me chills since childhood. Perfect. Where would you find someone who sings and raps like her?
I know right. Where's the recognition!!
@@nataliegian she didn’t sold her soul that’s why she is so underrated.. Hollywood is demonic
The only one who comes to mind is Tarriona "Tank" Ball. Not exactly the same style but she has insane pipes, is pure emotion and raps like it's 1999 without trying to emulate testosteron. A bit too theatrical for my liking but the skills are undeniable.

I love this song, this is the song that I sung at my grandfather's funeral. My grandfather suffered before he died, but I sing now because he is free. I'm so happy. Also I sing because I'm also free and I am so grateful to be alive . I just wanna take the time out in my day to personally thank Jesus Christ for allowing me to wake up this morning in my right state of mind; more over, to be clean from my pill addiction, alcohol, and marijuana as well. Again thank you Lord that I am now free and so happy. I was so lost but now I am found. I once was lost but now I can see myself and the world for what it really is. Amen, and Halleluja.

I'm a moslem, but when I first heard this song back in junior high school, I did not know why but I cried. I did not even know the lyrics, as English is not my first language. I guess there is something about the melody and Tanya' & Lauryn's voices. It soothes me. So soft yet so powerful.
I was raised Christian, but now I'm atheist, and I love this song too. Sometimes I go back to music that I was raised with and I can still connect with people from when I was a believer with songs from back in those old days!
Amen

I'm from Hong Kong I don't have a particular belief, but I consider myself quite open to any worldview. Each world view is a painting, and combining those altogether forms a beautiful gallery. And I think I am the one watching in the gallery.
I love the songs written by Christian songwriter so much. particular the hymns produced in the 1830-1920 era like this and "Nearer My God", "Amazing Grace" and many others. I myself even arranged some of these songs
We have the same Father my dear. We just approach in different ways 💗🧡💛

The Grandoti I’m still trying to figure out what my value is and what the meaning of life is. It’s very hard.
I pray for god to bless you with CLARITY UNDERSTANDING AND PEACE. Hunny you are EXACTLY where GOD has intended you to be. He gives us STRUGGLES to make us stronger pain so we know sorrow and suffering so that we may have COMPASSION. Although your FAMILY isn't where you want it to be keep PRAYING FOR THEM AND ALSO YOUR SELF AS WILL I. KEEP THE FAITH EVEN WHEN THE PATH IS UNCLEAR. REMEMBER WHATS MEANT TO BE WILL BE REGARDLESS ITS THE THINGS WE FORCE TOGETHER THAT FALL PART ANYWAYS. MUCH LOVE

I love black gospel music
Yes
Im white and so do i . I just love it its just the best
So do I
@W Jordan You know what though. We are all one period. I've met twins from Nigeria they are black albino which is common. This is how white skin started from the blacks. So please dont divide us because we actually arnt divided but people keep the whole racism thing alive by being ignorant !!
@Imani Alexander i never said all white people are albino's ??? Im confused with your statement. I said the white race began with the black race by having melanin or albino occur with their skin. I have learned this from a black historian that explains in his lectures about how the white skin exists as all people in whatever yrs he was speaking about were all black. Also showed in his lectures different tribes of the black race , having blonde hair naturally but the skin was black, or having blue eyes but with black skin. I actually met a fella who was our Coke Cola delivery guy he had really dark black skin but with blue eyes. U don't see that often but I knew it existed but only because again I was learning from this historian. But I asked the man anyways I said "Are those contacts you're wearing ? He said no. I was like wow that's so awesome and neat I said I've been learning about history and learning about how we all originated in Africa and everybody was black and how the white race began through them. He smiled and said yes that's correct .
I'm here because I lost my grandmother 13 1/2 hours ago and this song is such a comfort and Lauren and Tanya's rendition is the best. This song is possibly the most beautiful hymn ever written, and this is by far the most beautiful rendition of this amazing hymn.
Sorry about your loss.🙏🏼❤️
My deepest condolences 🙏 ❤ .
May your grandmother find the peace and joy that only JESUS gives.
I'm legitimately in tears right now. Lauryn and Tanya. You're such a blessing. 🌸💐
Me too! How music heals! A blessing indeed!
+Mizó Mulàn me 2..Today IM sad..Winter is here in Minnesota..grey, cold, depressing so I turn on the HYMNS and sing and cry tears of joy..
+Catherine AMEN
The world missed out on these two being a duo. Their blend is so fantastic and I will always love their version of this song best. I've been playing it since I saw that movie in the 90s. So heavenly. Literally!
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me
I sing because I´m happy
I sing because I´m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
He watches me
I know
He watches
Me
Thanks

In times like these we are to affirm our faith more than anything, God is watching over us and He is the one who created the Heavens and the Earth, so He knows and is in Charge we need to let Him take the place in our hearts and minds and let him to what he does best.
I'm here
I am
Who doesn't give a fuck
In times like this I know God is watching us and I pray for peace and for those who are grieving peace and faith and hope we can get through this with the help of God he is my salvation and he is helping me through this terrible time he had helped me through the last few months after the loss of a friend from the virus but I know with faith hope and faith it will be on

+marquis halsell AMEN

+Daniela Marmo Well don't waist the blessing The lord has prepared for you. for we will see miracles greater than what was prepared before in his time when he walked upon the face of the earth. amen.
I’m so blessed to be alive .
AMENT.
Amen
WAUW! Bless you
I played this for my father at his funeral. It brings me to tears Everytime I hear it. This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free. I always felt my father saying that to me because he was free!
I remember this from the Sister Act 2 movie & fell in love with it. I listened to it over and over on tape cassette, then CD, and now we got TH-cam! Good music endures.
I listen to this song every morning while singing and tears rolling down my cheeks, it's such a beautiful song.
Asked to have this song played at my Mum’s funeral, shortly after she passed, late November 2019. Reminded me so much of her brave spirit, and was the first song that came to mind. My Dad, surprisingly, told me during our phone call, when looking at her recent internet history - selecting songs for her funeral - she was watching this video the same time I was (weeks before she, suddenly, passed away at 53). This song helps so much, reminding me of our connection, during this devastating time. RIP my “twin” Mum. My heart is truly broken. I cannot stop crying for you. We love and miss you so much. xxxxxx
God bless you and rest in eternal peace to your queen ❤️💛💚
Big homie Mac7 Thank you so much. God bless ♥️🙏🏾
Sorry for your loss. I loss mine New Years '19. Love & Comfort to u...
Mrs. Lauren hill God bless your talent its queen like.. make a sinner think twice
Not discredit Tanya his collab is like passing by hem to the gates of the kingdom ..
With tears in my eyes ♥️ when Jesus is my portion a constant friend is he
My friend was promoted to heaven after a battle with the virus but I know she is happy and pain free but I will miss her forever rip beautiful lady sleep and rest and know your in our hearts forever
You have no idea how much this comment just touched me; I thank you and pray for you.
I like how you worded that
You can see your friend again in heaven so make sure you make it to heaven! You two will have eternity to continue your friendship as well as being with your families and other friends plus enjoying everything heaven has to offer 🙂!!!
Who's watching this in April 2020? Especially at a time when the world is undergoing the most testing time? Don't you think that this song becomes that much more relevant?
TheGodMinute Yes
Me💙💙💙👥👥👥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

May you be delivered. No weapons formed shall prosper praying for you
This song NEVER goes out of style!!!
Man this bring chills down my spine. God is good.
Amen brother. Go God and rejoicing music!!!
Cant stop crying when I listen to it. Touches me soo deep😇
If God is good, why did he make the devil which is evil? God created luicifer from his own Darkness, which he hides. God is a two faced evil hypocrite who punishes people for being good and rewards people for being fake and evil, just look at the world around us, and then we are programmed to think "one day they will go to Hell, and we will go to Heaven" as if Life is just a constant War between Good and Evil and the cycle just perpetuates. But REALLY Life is just a constant Sharing Battery Charger of Good and Evil that God's SICK evil two faced hypocrite self feeds off of like a battery charger. He never died for anyone's sins, he lied from his Sin and blamed that on everyone else's Sins. God is a sick evil hypocrite, if God is perfect, why did he make the devil, which was a Mistake? Don't you FIX Mistakes after you make them? Perpetuating the concept OF perfection? But God never did this, because he created this world for his own sick purpose. He is a Liar and he is Dead......
+iPromoTruth where ever did you hear this child ?
The devil turned evil himself-idiot! God is great and he gave man free will. He didnt program us like fucking robots. Man (and woman) screwed everything up and the chain of motion was set when the fruit was picked from the tree of knowledge-which we had no business stealing from after given specific directions not to do so. The "devil"(evil) was once an angel and he was jealous of God so he started being shady. Seriously......chill the fuck out and have some respect for our Lord.
This song, touched my heart. The comments in this comment section. Such testimonies. God is so good,and in everything. His beauty knows no bounds. Father God,I just praise you and worship your Holy name. God bless all who read this, and those who don't as well. 💖💖
Amen my sister
Jessica Morales bless you sister 💖💕
Hallelujah! Remain blessed Jessica Morales! :-(
Jessica Morales God bless you always Amen ✨
Trouble oh this world
I don’t know how many times this has guided me out of my darkness. I can’t explain it, and although I might know God personally, I can feel something constantly reminding me that there is good even in midst of adversity, that I possess the strength even when I feel weka and powerless. That I am never truly lost, just too stubborn to accept that this life and its trials were given to test and guide me. If that is what Christians call God, then I believe He has always been with me … and he has given me an opportunity to discover my freedom.
This song carried me through very difficult times. 🙏🏼
He's watching us as we go through this trying time. May the God of peace, comfort and mercy carry us through. The best version of this song that I've ever heard.
This Song is Simply Beautiful...and Soul Soothing
The View Sister Act 2 Reunion brought me here 2024! This collaboration was so powerful geez! Absolutely breathtaking.
Same here ❤
When she sings this part "When Jesus is my portion" my spirit lifts to the Heavens in infinite Praise!
Not a religious person myself, but I believe that the best singers in terms of vocal range and voice control comes from gospel choirs.
SomeEpicGuy1 yes
SomeEpicGuy1 we aren't called to be religious, but spiritual. Blessings to you!
SomeEpicGuy1 it's not about religion my brother it's about falling in love with Jesus he's watching you
Cecil Chambers Who's the jesuse

I cry when I hear these songs from our youth. We should have protected them from the wolves in sheep clothing.
Their angelic voices in harmony, now I understand how David played songs to soothe King Sauls soul as he was being tormented in his mind by evil spirits (Samuel 16:14 - 23).
I'm in the ICU with my Mom and I played this for her. I know he watches her. Im praying for a miracle for whomever reads this message and me! 👑🙏❤️
I played this song for my mom while she was transitioning to Heaven, I know the pain you're in, but remember God will have the final say 🙏 He is Nye to those with a broken heart and such be of a contrite spirit.
God nevers abandoned you keep your faith 🙏
Hello you and your mom are in my prayers. Miracles from God are with you keep your Faith. I know their's a God up above. Angel hugs
My prayers are with you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
🙏 🙏
that verse healed me of 12 years of anorexia...now everytime I hear it I remember all I've been through; and I made it.
v schoettle I’m suffering from a year of insomnia or two. Will I get healed?
Dion Sulcer these days I’ve been praying to God : overcome my unbelief. I feel so lonely and depressed. And I say to Jesus so many times I’m so tired and still I couldn’t fall into sleep. And why Lord? I have no answers...
v schoettle congratulations
Mr. Ken Fung
Greetings to you.
Have you made the LORD Jesus Christ your LORD, SAVIOR, and REDEEMER?
According to Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) "He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Amen.
The LORD is well able to heal you of insomnia just put your trust and hope in Him. He won't let you
down. Have a great weekend. ☺
Ken Fung God loves you more that you could ever imagine. Rest in that assurance. Pray to understand why you are having a hard time falling asleep. Just keep praying, don't give up, sometimes answers to prayer are hindered like Daniel's, we don't understand from down here. But never give up, He cares for you watchfully and affectionately!
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely
and long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he..
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches(I know he watches)
I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me(he watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
(he watches me)
(he watches me)
I know he watches me
