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
