Lyrics:
Verse 1
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
Chorus
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
Verse 2
Let not your heart be troubled
His tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubt and fear
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
Verse 3
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
