Lord this world seems so big
And I’m here so small
And to this song that you gave me
No one’s listening at all

But when I looked out the door
To a tree down my street
I saw one red cardinal
At the top take his seat

And with all of his might
He sang out God’s tune
Then flew off in a hurry
He still had so much to do!

1. I love this! I don’t know how many mornings I have been encouraged by the cardinals’ tenacious song. May I be so faithful!

   • These photos I took last night and the song was so striking that it stuck with me. It has been a struggle for me lately and I am grateful for both the symphony God sent and the words he gave me. Have a blessed day!
