I know He cares for me Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart feel 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. 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! Now, "let not your heart be troubled," His tender words I hear. And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears. Though by the path He leads me, but one step I may see. For His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. For His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. He watches me I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. He watches me
