Early morning sunshine, dew is on the ground The singing of a sparrow makes a joyful sound It's the song of strength and endurance, giving me assurance That Jesus is near, when hope cannot be found Sometimes I am strong, and others I am weak It's a struggle to become what I really need to be I worry about tomorrow until I hear the sparrow And I'm reminded of the promise He'll take care of me The sparrow never worries where to get supplies He just flies until he finds it, under God's watchful eye And if the Lord can know so closely, the simple pathways of a bird Will He not provide His children, protection from this world? So I'll sing because I'm happy And I'll sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
