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 lose my doubts and fears,
Tho' 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 place to sighing, When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, From care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches 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.
