His eye is on the sparrow by Charles H. Gabriel — Lyrics
Why should I be discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely?
longing 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.
“Let not your heart be troubled”,
his tender word I hear,

The lyrics convey a message of profound trust and comfort, assuring the listener that even in times of discouragement and fear, divine attention provides solace. The solo voices lend a personal and heartfelt quality to the assurance that "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." It is a powerful reminder of unwavering divine care and the peace that comes from surrendering worries, finding happiness and freedom in that knowledge.
