Why should I feel discouraged

Why should the shadows come

Why should my heart be lonely

And long for heav'n and home

When jesus is my portion

My constant friend is he;

For 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

"let not your heart be troubled "

His tender word I hear

And resting on his goodness

I lose my doubts and fears

I draw him close to me

From care he sets me free;

For 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

Yeah

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches me
