Little birds their maker praise
Why not I? Why not I?
Songs of gratitude they raise
Why not I? Why not I?
He who notes the sparrow’s fall
Is my Lord
my life
my all;
’Twas for me He came to die
Who should praise Him if not I?
Little birds are free from care
Why not I? Why not I?
Happy all the day they are
Why not I? Why not I?
Little birds are free from sin
Why not I? Why not I?
Pure and innocent within
Why not I? Why not I?
