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

i sing because i'm happy

i sing because i'm free

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

yes his eye is on that little sparrow sparrow

and i know he watches me
