Maggie, the talented daughter of David Phelps, showcases her inherited musical abilities in this video. It was recorded live during the filming of David Phelps’ Hymnal: A Journey of Faith Through Hymns concert.
The video captures the essence of the Bible verses found in Matthew 6:26, which remind us of God’s care for even the smallest creatures like birds. These verses served as the inspiration for the timeless lyrics of the Christian hymn ‘His Eye Is On The Sparrow.’
The hymn ‘His Eye Is on the Sparrow’ was penned in 1905 by lyricist Civilla D. Martin and composer Charles H. Gabriel. Its popularity soared after actress-singer Ethel Waters used the title for her autobiography. Mahalia Jackson’s rendition of the song received the esteemed Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2010.
