“Consider the Ravens” is about God’s desire to provide for us, and our need to give up control to let him take care of us.
The title and lyrics are a clever synthesis of two biblical passages. In the first, Jesus uses the ravens as an example showing that God will provide for his followers:

Consider the Ravens Lyrics
[verse]
I've got bills to pay, tax man on my tail
Just keep prayin' that the check's in the mail
There are times it seems every thing's lost
And I'm moaning, I'm tossed, then I see
[Chorus]
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Between oblivion and places I'm led
So Father give me faith, providence and grace
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Sweet deliverer, you lift up my head
Lead me in Your way
[verse]
I've grown sick and tired of trying to stand still
Learned to let the wind blow me where it will
To throw myself into the will of the waves
How can we ever be brave till we're free?
[Chorus]
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Between oblivion and places I'm led
So Father give me faith, providence and grace
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Sweet deliverer, you lift up my head
Lead me in Your way
[bridge]
Although I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Evil's all around, it's coming from the right and the left
Trust that I will see the glory above
Oh, Your banner of love flies over me
[Chorus]
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Between oblivion and places I'm led
So Father give me faith, providence and grace
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Sweet deliverer, you lift up my head
Lead me in Your way
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed
Sweet deliverer, you lift up my head
Lead me in Your way
