Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home
When Jesus is my portion - my constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
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.
"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
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.
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.
