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
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Oh yes, I sing because I'm happy
Oh yes, I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
And I know He watches me
♪
Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubt and fear
Though the path, it leaded me
But once there, I may see
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Oh yes, I sing because I'm happy (I sing)
Oh yes, I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
And I know He watches me
