Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heav'n and home
When Jesus is my portion (He is my portion)
My constant friend is He (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 on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Let not your heart be troubled
His tender words I hear
Resting on His goodness
I lose my doubt and fear
Though by the path He leadeth
But one may step I may see
His eye in on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye in on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy (I sing because I)
I sing because I'm free
For His eye on the sparrow
And I know, And I know, And I know, And I know
He watches me
He watches me
For His eye in on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
For His eye in on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye on the sparrow
And I know (I know) He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm
I sing because I'm free
Oh His eye on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
