I love this song. Has brought me much comfort, as well. Another one that has given me comfort through anxiety is, PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM by Kim Hopper with the Hoppers
My legally blind 78 year old Dad is in a temporary assisted living home for either 3 to 4 weeks or most likely even permanently, because he’s loving it there. After lunch he wants me to sing this song (his favorite of all-time) a cappella tomorrow for all his home friends to here. So I’m going to. I feel very honored and reverent to do it. I’m gonna do it as long as I don’t start cracking up or crying. Please, for anyone reading my comment, pray for me to glorify the Lord esp. tomorrow but everyday. And not start crying. Im sure they don’t want me to cry, they want me to sing. I need to be strong. God in Heaven please bless my singing gift that you gave me at birth to glorify your name in Christ’s name. Amen…Thanks everybody.
Victor, i am 76 years old. I was raised Pentecostal (UPC) and received God's Spirit 1972 when i was 24 years old. Worked in the oilfields after graduating high school in 1967. Worked away from home a lot working in the oilfield. When i became a driller in 1972 is when God filled me with his Spirit. I was away from Church quite often and missed out on raising my 3 girls. Eventually i steered away from God and then fell into a bad situation with another woman, then i divorced. I left God for 7 years and went to church occasionally. After being out of church for 7 years, and believe me i was so miserable, i happened to go by my mother's house to visit my family, my younger sister & brother started singing that song by Candy Hemphill and God started dealing with me, and here i am today since Christmas of 1986 still serving HIM. I was in the shower this morning and i started singing Consider the Lillies and here i am telling you my story. Hope my story lifts you up and your dad can come home, if he wants to LOL. Anyhow, hope all goes well with your road of life today, because things are not all like they were in the 70's. God Bless you and yours. Happy New Year!
Sing it candy I remember when I was a little girl coming to church services in here and you and your family and I remember this is always being your song you guys are such a blessing remember me and my family in your prayers

In 1982 I listened to this cassette over and over as a kid . It really helped me as I was going thru things as a child .I just now searched and found it now I can listen to it again ❤
Such a beautiful song. It’s not hard to pick out Candy’s voice. Such a beautiful voice. I thought that I’d heard all of the older music but this one,I haven’t heard. Absolutely beautiful.
The Hemphills use to sing at our " Homecomings " at church when we had dinner on the ground and singings all day long. Precious precious memories! I loved them so much...Loved Candy! I also sang in our small country church choir. "Beech Grove Baptist Church" until I was 18;). Still love everyone there to this day. Most were my family. Brother Bishop baptized me at that church in 1979 and gifted me a Bible and wrote in it. We had an outdoor baptism and the water was sooooo cold. The morning I was baptized they lifted the top and there was a snake in there!!! Ha! A SNAKE! Satan was trying from the beginning to hold me back, lol!!! TO NO AVAIL!! I was just a little thing.. 7 years old. Had only been moved back from Atlanta where i was born, for about a year! Brother Bishop ( our preacher) his son Bobby, was my choir teacher, but he also gave me piano lessons. Both have passed now but those were absolutely some of the best days of my life and definitely the most precious memories!!!! Love this song so much!! ✝️ 🙌 🌸 🐦
Worked with my boyfriend (now ex husband) during college at the local radio station and remembered when this came out. Best version of all, still brings me to tears.
Consider the lilies; They don't toil nor spin And there's not a king with more splendor than them Consider the sparrows; They don't plant or sow But they're fed by the Master who watches them grow We have a Heavenly Father above With eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love He really cares when your head is bowed low Consider the lilies and then you will know May I introduce you to this friend of mine Who hangs out the stars, tells the sun when to shine And kisses the flowers each morning with dew Oh, but He's not too busy to care about you! We have a Heavenly Father above With eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love And He really cares when your head is bowed low Consider the lilies and then you will know Consider the lilies and then you will know
You have no idea how many of us have searched (unsuccessfully) to find this, the ORIGINAL recording of " Consider the Lilies." You are correct that it is the best. I use to own this album but it got destroyed in a flood. What a shame The Hemphills did not release their original recordings Greatest Hits because the originals were the best. They also had some live recordings that were really, really good. THANKS....for posting!
I can sit all day with my dogs just listening to music. Thanks UA-cam for preserving true music.
Thank you I love that song I need to get it and practice it.
My Dad is 78 years old now and still doing good except for his vision. This is his all-time favorite song. Gets us everytime…
i have severe panic attks this song brings peace to me evry time i listen
In the name of JESUS CHRIST, I command that spirit of fear to be loosed from you and that the holy spirit fills you with his love, joy, and peace.
I love this song. Has brought me much comfort, as well.

one song I remember growing up ty jesus
Oh to hear my mother sing this in the home again . My mommy would bless us with this one sometimes.
Thanks so much for posting the original! ❤️🎶
My father was a minister in the 70's and we saw the Hemphills live many times.
This song is so beautiful it melts my heart.
Me too
Consider the lilies;
They don't toil nor spin
And there's not a king with more splendor than them
Consider the sparrows;
They don't plant or sow
But they're fed by the Master who watches them grow
We have a Heavenly Father above
With eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love
He really cares when your head is bowed low
Consider the lilies and then you will know
May I introduce you to this friend of mine
Who hangs out the stars, tells the sun when to shine
And kisses the flowers each morning with dew
Oh, but He's not too busy to care about you!
We have a Heavenly Father above
With eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love
And He really cares when your head is bowed low
Consider the lilies and then you will know
Consider the lilies and then you will know
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful.
