CONSIDER THE LILIES

by Stephen Smith

featuring the Elektra Women’s Choir
Consider the lilies of the field; they toil not, neither do they spin.
Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:25-36)

LYRICS

Take no thought for your life
what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink.
Behold the birds of the air;
they sow not, nor do they reap
Yet your heavenly Father feedeth them

And why take ye thought for raiment
saying where-with-al shall we be clothed?

Consider the lilies of the field;
they toil not, neither do they spin.
Yet Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.

Take no thought for the morrow,
for the morrow shall take thought for itself.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness
and all these things
shall be added unto you.
