Consider the Lilies by the Hemphills

A song from their 1977 release, In God's Sunshine
Consider The Lilies
Verse I
Consider the lilies they don’t toil nor spin
And there’s not a king with more splendor than them
Consider the sparrow they don’t plant or sow
But he's fed by the Master who watches him grow
Chorus:
We have a Heavenly Father above
With eyes full of mercy
A heart full of love
He really cares when Your head is bowed low
Consider the lilies and then you will know
Verse II
May I introduce you to this friend of mine
Who hangs out the stars
Tells the sun when to shine
And kisses the flowers each morning with dew
But He’s not too busy to care about you.
Chorus:
We have a Heavenly Father above
With eyes full of mercy
A heart full of love
He really cares when Your head is bowed low
Consider the lilies and then you will know

I used to sing this evry where. One of my all time favourite gospel songs !

[@garyfrazier5371]

I did, too...The only problem (now) is that I've lost my hearing and, without captioning, added to vlogs, music is nothing.

You have no idea how hard many of us have searched (in vain) for this ORIGINAL recording of "Consider the Lilies". The later re-records were just not as good as this one. As Gomer Pyle would say,.... "Thank ya! Thank ya! Thank ya!!!!" My, oh.... my, my, my!!! :)

[@jahovahjira]

OH OH OH!!!! I'm so glad I found this!!!!!! I worked at a radio station in 1977 and fell in love with this version and haven't been able to find it again until now!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I've searched and searched the web with no luck until now! This is BY FAR the best version in the world!!!!! I love it!

[@ohiobuzzie]

You're welcome....... I just recently discovered I had it, never cared for the newer recording of it

[@windsong1a]

Nor I buzzzie....this recording was the best. I wonder why they never put out the original recordings of all their best? Also they had some great live recordings. What a shame.. I use to have this very album. It was destroyed in a flood unfortunately.
