Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
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,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.
VERSE 2
Let not your heart be troubled,
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I loose my doubt and fear,
Though by the path He leadeth,
But one step I may see,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.
VERSE 3
Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give way to sighing
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him
From cares He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me.
CHORUS
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.
BE NOTE AFRAID!
Be not Afraid, Be not Afraid,
Be not Afraid, Be not Afraid,
Says the Lord,
Be not Afraid, Be not Afraid,
Be not Afraid, says the Lord.
