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 captain
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
Oh his eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
