Consider the Birds

Consider the Birds is the second album (not counting the score for Blush) by David Eugene Edwards' Woven Hand. The album's title comes from the Sermon on the Mount. When asked why he chose this as his album's title, David Eugene Edwards replied, "I wanted to remind myself of the birds. I am often anxious. I need to fall on my faith more."[6]
