It is amazing how the name of Jesus is being proclaimed on national television. In this video, Jennifer Hudson sings a phenomenal rendition of “His Eye is on the Sparrow.”
Jennifer starts out by sharing how she would like to end the show by singing one of her favorite songs from Sister Act 2. She tells the audience that the song means a lot to her personally.
The audience cheers as she stands there next to a piano in a sparkly black dress with a white top mimicking a nun costume. She sits and begins to sing, “His Eye is on the Sparrow.”
As Jennifer begins to sing at the piano, she has such strength and authenticity. Her voice is powerful and pure. The audience cheers. She knows how to finesse the words and melodically wow the listener.
Jennifer sings the truth of God watching the birds, but how much more He is watching over us. I love how Jennifer is singing live with no autotune. She is singing purely from her heart and with such authenticity. She hits notes that wow the crowd and is filled with such passion.
Watching and listening to Jennifer sing this song leads us straight into worship with the Lord. It is incredibly honest and powerful. It is moving and leads us to praise our Savior and thank Him for watching over us.
It can be easy to forget that God sees us, but this song reminds us that He is always keeping His eye on us, and He loves us very much.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31
