Why do I feel discouraged?
Why do the shadows come?
And why does my heart feel 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.
So I sing because I'm happy,
And I sing because I'm free;
(yeah)
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
So I sing because I'm happy,
And I sing because I'm free;
(yeah)
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches,
And I know He watches,
And I know He watches...
me!
His Eye is on the Sparrow
