Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven 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 restin' on his goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
Tho' 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
And I know he watches me
