Lyrics[]
Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A 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;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Let not your heart be troubled
These tender words 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;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Whenever I am tempted; whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies;
I draw the closer to Him
From care He sets me 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
I sing because I'm happy;
I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
