Jess Ray: Lilies & Sparrows

I have listened to MATIN, and this song in particular, multiple times. It absolutely soothes my soul and draws me into the presence of the Most High. Thank you <3

I feel the love of God so much in this song 😍

I love this song so much. God bless ❤🙏

This song is one of my favourites! It has ministered so much to me this week especially. Thank you, Jess and co. God is doing some truly wonderful work through your music. ❤

Beautiful

Yes and Amen

One of my favorite songs off your latest album- thanks for the video!

This song…wow…this has touched my heart in a way and time I needed it most 😢 thank you so much. Thank you for following God’s calling on your life ❤ I’m so serious. Praise Jesus. I grew up with my mom listening to Keith Green, and I don’t know what it is but something about you and your music reminds me of him and that time in my life. I’ve always cherished those moments, and my mom.
I think the similarity to Keith is your heart for the Lord.
I love this so much, thank you ❤
(Written through tears)

You're so cool❤

One of the most beautiful songs I have listened too, ❤️ I have shared it with my friends on Facebook and it’s blessing soo many hearts. To God be the Glory!

❤

This just plays over and over in my head. So lovely. So anointed. Thanks be to God for this gift.

Amen 🙏

Lyrics:
Look at the birds, they never sow or reap
Look at the flowers, they never toil or spin
There's not a day they don't have what they need
Are you not worth even more than them?

Don't you know that your father in heaven
Knows just what you're needing?
Seek him first and everything else
That you need will be given
Don't you see, He loves you much more
Than the lilies and sparrows
Come and rest, don't waste today
Being scared of tomorrow

Look at the birds, they never sow or reap
Look at the flowers, they never toil or spin
There's not a day they don't have what they need
Are you not worth even more than them?

Don't you know that your father in heaven
Knows just what you're needing?
Seek him first and everything else
That you need will be given
Don't you see, He loves you much more
Than the lilies and sparrows
Come and rest, don't waste today
Being scared of tomorrow

All this worry won't buy you anything

Don't you know that your father in heaven
Knows just what you're needing?
Seek him first and everything else
That you need will be given
Don't you see, He loves you much more
Than the lilies and sparrows
Come and rest, don't waste today
Being scared of tomorrow
Don't waste today
Being scared of tomorrow

Something about these simple songs from scripture fill me with so much peace. Same feeling as House of God Forever by Jon Foreman.... just resting in Jesus.

Wow.. "Don't waste a day being scared of tomorrow" Im hearing it repeatedly, so good thank you for providing such a meaningful song of our creator.. 😢

Thank you.

🙌🙌🙌

Thanks Jess! (And your husband!) I had this on repeat this morning! The precious true words of Jesus beautifully sung and played!

llllllooooovvvveeeeee.

Amen 🙏

A Healing Balm

WOW😭 so edifying and reassuring. perfect for assurance struggles and trials. thank you

I thought of this beautifully helpful song immediately after reading this quote.
Thank you, Jess.❤️

I abandoned and forgot myself,
laying my face on my Beloved;
all things ceased;
I went out from myself, leaving my cares, forgotten among the lilies.

St. John of the Cross

Thank you Jess. My head has been filled with "what ifs" with our son's health. God sees and He is good, no matter the outcome.

I needed this song in my life! I have been really struggling with life's worries lately. It's hard to not worry when you are in the middle of the storm. It's hard not to worry when your whole heart is emerged in the thing that you are worried about. If it's a person, our health, a loved ones health or an experience it's all so emotionally draining. This weekend the message was around how God cares for us and that if we seek him always he will provide everything we need. Just like the flowers and the birds, they always have what they need to survive as God provides for them beautifully. We are to never worry about the situation we're in because it will not change the circumstances and all it will do is waste a beautiful day. This song was shared with us and I can't stop listening to it. I hope that whoever is reading this is worrying remember that we're more valuable that the birds and flowers and we will be cared for. We just have to keep our faith close.

Last night the Holy Spirit prompted me to send this beautiful song to a friend who’s been overwhelmed with many issues and has been filled with anxiety and fear. Upon receiving it he replied back, “wow, I kid you not, God told me He was going to give me something at 11:00pm”. For the record I sent my text to him at 10:59pm. After hearing your song he sent me a 2nd text saying, “sobbing”. Clearly God is sovereign and somehow manages to use us to accomplish His will when He so desires!
God bless you Jess!

why does she hate birds and plants?

I am not religious but this song is a beautiful masterpiece.

Does anyone know what patch is being used on the keyboard? Love the natural upright tone.

This song truly touches my heart! Any one who is patriotic and especially if they have loved ones in the Military, it's kinda like I am living the song and video. It's so deep and special! May God Bless America and fill our hearts with praise and gratitude for the blessings given to us!!!

Beautiful song, beautiful spirit

Hi Jess. I just want you to tell how deeply your song touched me. After 18 years in ministry and nearing retirement with no savings I was and still am fighting feelings of despair and hopelessness .God bless you from a sister in Christ. SOUTH AFRICA ❤❤❤ NEVER stop singing for our Lord. Your worship is a powerful weapon. ❤❤❤❤

There is such an anointing on this music

This song is a great reminder before I start teaching again…20 th year… don’t worry… with Jesus… we got this!

Seek Him first 🎶🙌💖

2 October 24….. Tuesday 7:50 pm. With all we are going thru while watching for Jesus to return, and this beautiful song just showed up on my feed… and I did not even realize how much I needed to hear it again… until I did. Jesus loves us!!!
