Why should I feel discourages?
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.
His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
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.
"Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender word I hear
And resting on his goodness,
I lose all 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
CHORUS
