Don’t Worry

Before I dive back into Hymnal Archeology with the 1985 Catholic Worship Book, there is a new song from Erwin Cabucos to be looked at.

He based the text on Matt 6:25-36.

The sheet music can be purchased at Sheet Music Direct.

I kept my backing simple … and a little country:

1 Don’t worry about your looks, nor what you’ll wear.
Don’t worry bout your food, nor what you’ll drink.
Life is more than food and the body’s more than clothes.
You know you’re worth much more than them.

2 Look at the birds in the air.
They neither sow, reap, nor store away in barns
And yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
You know you’re worth much more than them.

Refrain

Don’t worry, God sees and hears.
Indeed, He knows your need.
Don’t worry, about tomorrow
Tomorrow will worry about itself. Have faith.

3 See how the flowers of the field
Grow, yet neither toil nor spin.
God tends the grass but tomorrow its thrown;
Surely, He’ll tend you as His own.

Refrain

4 Strive first for the kingdom of God;
Seek His righteousness at hand,
And all these things to you shall be given;
Your other needs will be as well

Refrain
