As others react with curiosity and doubt, they explain that learning about Jesus brings understanding beyond serious chants, offering freedom, gratitude, and a new life. Their message emphasizes God’s love as a Father, salvation as a free gift, and transformation through the Spirit, replacing endless rebirth teachings with hope and obedience.","Literacy International: The People Who Love to Sing About God  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish Spiritual  \nLiteracy International: The People Who Love to Sing About God  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2018, Literacy International  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

To their dismay the Tibetan driver shouted,“Trucks are coming this way.” And, sure enough, before long the first truck came into sight, laboring slowly along with a large load of logs.  \n“Look at the mud on those wheels,” one man cried out.“Those trucks are tearing up our roads!” Some others groaned while another began to mutter a prayer. They knew they would have a long wait and after that a difficult drive where the trucks had passed.  \nThen two Tibetan women seated at the back began to hum a cheery tune, then in low voices breaking into the words of a song,“I sing because I’m happy. I sing because I’m free, for His eye is on the sparrow. And I know He watches me.”  \nAnother woman sitting near them said with a puzzled look,“What is there to be happy about? What is this about a sparrow?”  \nThe women smiled, and one of them said,“We’re singing about how God who takes care of the little sparrow will also take care of us. And that is what makes us happy even in hard times.”  \nThe one who questioned them was not sure if she wanted to hear more about a sparrow. She said,“I think I’ll have a stretch and walk around a bit outside. We’ll be here for a long time, and we’re out here in the middle of nowhere.” And she strolled down the aisle.  \nThe other two soon followed her because they knew from experience that a large group of the trucks traveled together so they could help one another incase of trouble.  \nA number of the passengers were already walking around, and several had gone around the curve to see how many trucks were coming. They came back shaking their heads at the number of trucks and the bad condition of the road ahead. In spite of the blue sky above now, it seemed that rain and heavy traffic had damaged the road.  \nPassengers began to sit down on boulders or grass fora long wait. The first two ladies strolled around, singing softly,“I have a song that Jesus gave me. It was sent from Heaven above. There never was a sweeter melody. It’s a melody of love.”  \nThe third woman, catching up with them, said,“So you sing love songs, do you? I know we have them for our Tibetan dances, but I never heard anyone say that some songs came from Heaven.”  \nWith that they began to get to know each other. Her name was Sonam. They were named Drashi and Losang Drohna. They had all brought goods to sell at market and were returning to their homes with some of the goods they had bought. Tibetan women have had a reputation for often being very good in business matters, and these three compared their most recent sales and purchases.  \nThen Drashi said to Sonam,“Perhaps you wonder why we like to sing. Of course, we always have liked the songs which go with our Tibetan dances, but we never realized that songs of prayer and praise to Heaven could be just as interesting. A lot of the religious chants are so serious. It gets boring because we can’t understand it. Then as we learned about the true God’s goodness to us, we discovered that we could sing about Him with songs of joy.”  \n“Here’s a place we can sit,” Sonam suggested,“I’d like to know where you learned about this God you are talkin","cbCaikxX9ZhfiQDw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikxX9ZhfiQDw","pdf",345117,1,16,"English","en",105,"# God’s Care Through Song\n## Roadside Waiting and First
