11055. Why Not I?

1 Little birds their Maker praise,
Why not I? Why not I?
Songs of gratitude they raise,
Why not I? Why not I?

Refrain:
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?

2 Little birds are free from care,
Why not I? Why not I?
Happy all the day they are,
Why not I? Why not I? [Refrain]

3 Little birds are free from sin,
Why not I? Why not I?
Pure and innocent within,
Why not I? Why not I? [Refrain]
