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.
Refrain
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
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 for His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me
