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
