His Eye Is On The Sparrow | Tennessee Ernie Ford | May 4, 1961

[@davidwithrow7854]

B4 I went to bed last night I watched this and it touched a place in my heart like never before. Now I've heard this song many times but this time I Believe I heard it through my spiritual ears. GOD is about ready to tell His Son to "Go get my people." What a day that will be when I see JESUS face to face. The One that died on The Old Rugged Cross for my sins. HALLELUJAH that put some pep in my step. I feel asleep praising GOD an just woke up praising GOD and had to vacate the bed I was about to wake the Wife. Thank you JESUS CHRIST for paying my debt for the sins that I did. I've been washed in The Blood of the Lamb.

[@user-bv1ss5nj9b]

Amen, brother! And what a way to wake your wife - with praises to God! Best alarm clock, if you ask me. 🎶😇

[@triciabowie1248]

Yes AMEN SISTER

[@bluegrassgal]

[@esmenaicker1308]

Yes Lord i know you watching me. Amen thank you Lord Jesus

[@loissheldon139]

Thank you Lord a million thank yous❤🙏

[@newyorknight]

In a time when praising God was at the forefront of everyone's minds. Please bring us back to that way of thinking dear Lord🙏

[@marshamunger6004]

Ernie sang so many hymns with such meaningful expression . And yes at 71 I'm still one of Ernies Pea Pickers ❤

[@TheSharron]

Me too…❤❤❤

[@markmccammon266]

I'm 78 and add me to that list.

[@joanharris8057]

I grew up listening to TEF. Mom and Dad had many records of his gospel hymns and I have purchased CD's while they are still available. TEF had such a beautiful baritone voice!

[@alicemcpherson7961]

Me too ❤

[@alicemcpherson7961]

I loved his Spiritual singing. So rich and deep. ❤

When TV had class and wasn’t afraid to show humility and thanks to God. How things have changed. Not for the better.

[@durschfalltv7505]

But they will change. He is coming back. Either he will come or alot of Hearts will turn. And as much as i would like to see my Lord early i would be just as happy seeing the people rejoice and this world to heal. And i see that minds are shifting. People get tired of what this world has become. We have seen what immorality gives us. I was a "progressive" assining all the diffrent labels you could give yourself because you have no personality. Fair to say i realized i have a choice. Either i submit to lust and become it's slave or i give my life to jesus and be free. And yes it is a daily fight. And yes it is hard but it is worth it. Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV): "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." And no i don't know my bible i asked chat gpt for a bible qoute to go along with what i said. I should not be as lazy haha.

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

That's true. Now they're openly celebrating Satan just to upset Christians, lol...not hard to see the trajectory

[@ZacharyWhite25]

Fun fact- NBC originally opposed Ernie singing a hymn to close his show. Ernie Ford insisted and was dead set on doing a hymn, so they let him. NBC’s fears were proven wrong because the people loved it. Ernie was a beacon of God’s light through that moment in his show.

[@williamdouglas2717]

I am brokenhearted because we are the last generation to appreciate such marvellous music

[@ZacharyWhite25]

@@williamdouglas2717 I’m 25 years old. I’ve loved this stuff since I was a little kid! I wouldn’t have known Ernie Ford had it not been for PBS.

[@babievanderwatt6621]

This was the Music we listen to when I was a little girl, Sunday Afternoon in South Africa was a program on the English Radio Station called "From the Bell Tower" I will always remeber that. My Dad left us 50years ago, my Mom 8yrs and two of my Brothers and both my Sisters have passed already. Only two of us is still alive but I will never forget those Sunday afternoons, I was such a small little girl.

[@joeldawson442]

God bless and keep you

[@johnmccutcheon8126]

My father never missed this program. This is the kind of programming that influenced my life!🙏💖🕊🕊🕊

[@Itsasmallworld-g8y]

We were so blessed and fortunate to know these times!

[@estellashumate1097]

I grew up listening to him and no one sings His Eye is on the sparrow like he did!

[@dianacallicott4092]

I miss Ernie and beautiful voice. ❤❤❤❤

[@blueskysailing]

I love this song and Ernie sings it so beautifully. A half hour show wasn't enough. At least the commercials were shorter and fewer back then. 🙋🙏❤

[@phyllisgrellman4741]

We need you back Ernie. When people believed in something beside themselves

[@Dr.JeffHitePastor]

God’s music that ministers to my heart !

[@irenegewinner8193]

He is a voice we still love and miss.

[@carolynpurser7469]

This was one of my mom's favorite hymns.

[@StompMom5]

Back when God wasn't the enemy🙏😇

[@hanscraig1850]

The power and control of his voice, there has never been any equal.

[@dominicr9068]

I'm almost 39 and I love this man! What a vocal! Rest in peace!

[@user-vl8qj4nv7t]

I’m 72 and remember watching him with my parents. ❤

[@garyhirtz4392]

What a heritage we once had .its august 16 ,2024 .it's over America. America is finished.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Don’t forget that hope is the tenet of faith in God. If you lose hope for the future, it’s as if you don’t believe in God. Don’t vote for an immoral, amoral, criminal grifter and you can say you helped save America from the clutches of the antichrist trump and his overlords those radical right wing “Christian nationalists”, who are as unChristian as it gets. That’s a political movement, not a religion. They think Jesus was too liberal. Which means they have such high opinions of themselves and their skewed way of thinking that they have put themselves ABOVE GOD. Think about that! If those New Republicans get elected because they have fooled all the real Christians, then you’ll see what happens when voters abandoned their duty as Christians to vote for decent human beings like VP Harris and Governor Walz. They have proven that they care about the people- all the people, not just the wealthy. They need your help to get to power to do God’s work, for the preservation of the country, and for freedom and democracy. 💙💙💙💙💙

[@60Cascade]

The moment he begins singing I get goose bumps all over. Nobody sang these grand old hymns better than Mr. Ford.

[@linteresa9191]

Thanks for revisiting this old but gold song. It has greatly encouraged me whenever I face trials and challenges.

[@haprock828]

The voice that inspired my childhood and still moves me today 50 plus years later. Please keep these posts coming.

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour about 40 years ago , but was raised a Christian from birth (I am 65). When my wonderful Christian mother died (who was raised a Roman Catholic) I wanted this hymn -- 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow' -- song at her rite of Christian funeral Mass in a Catholic Church . The priest refused to let us sing it, because it is a Protestant hymn (not in the Catholic Hymn Book). I was crushed. My mom loved our Lord Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit lived in her. And she loved animals. ✝️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@blueskysailing]

I'm so sorry. That wasn't right. The catholic churches are too secular. They should have allowed this song to be played. 🙏❤

[@maryfyrr]

@@blueskysailing Thank you for your kind response. God bless. 🙏🏻✝️🇨🇦

[@norbertrossi7925]

Another proof that we are today deeply in the Post-Christian era in America. God has not changed. We have. Lord, have mercy on us. “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
