Why should I be 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

And I sing because I'm happy

And 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

And I sing because I'm happy

And I sing because I'm free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

Though by the path He leadeth but one step I may see

His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me

And I sing because I'm happy

And I sing because I'm free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me
