Before schools closed and students returned to their homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one group of students took time to encourage others through song.

Members of Mennonite Collegiate Institute's (MCI) vocal jazz ensemble, Resonate, uploaded a video to Instagram of them performing 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow.'

"In a time of uncertainty and isolation, Resonate wanted to spread optimism and assurance through song," the school says in the post.

"'His Eye Is on the Sparrow' is a reminder that God is caring for us, even as he cares for the sparrow. In singing this we find peace, and we hope that you will too."

MCI is a private Christian school, located in Gretna, Man.
