Lyrics


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

 

I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free

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 leads me

But just one step I see

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

 

I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

 

I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

 

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me
