[Verse 1]
Everything that I got's only 'cause He has provided
I don't get the credit, so why do I fret 'bout what I can't control?
Everything that I need I have got, so I'm reminded
I can be carefree in the care of God
[Chorus]
I'm like the lily of the field
I live my life like the sparrow
My heart is anchored to Your will
Don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
I see Your heart in every detail
You take the lead and I will follow
You're my provider and my shield
Don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
[Verse 2]
If You pay so much attention to nettles and flowers
How much more compassion and affection do You have for me?
This is the only love, holy love, I have encountered (I have encountered)
It gives me permission to be truly free (You make me free)
[Chorus]
I'm like the lily of the field
I live my life like the sparrow (Sparrow)
My heart is anchored to Your will (Anchored to Your will)
Don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
I see Your heart in every detail (In every detail)
You take the lead and I will follow
You're my provider and my shield
Don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
[Bridge]
Tomorrow has enough stress, enough mess
Enough worry on its own
And what can you gain from it? (No need to worry)
No, there's nothing to gain from it (Nothing to gain)
Tomorrow has enough pain (Enough pain), enough strain (Enough strain)
Enough worry on its own
What can you gain from it? (What can you gain?)
No, there's nothing to gain from it (Nothing to gain)
[Chorus]
I'm like the lily of the field (The lily of the field)
I live my life like the sparrow (My life's like the sparrow)
My heart is anchored to Your will (I'm anchored to Your will)
Don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
I see Your heart in every detail (In every detail)
You take the lead and I will follow
You're my provider and my shield
Don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
[Outro]
I'm like the lily of the field
My life's like the sparrow
I'm trusting Your will
And I'm not worry about tomorrow
