I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows fall? 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 over me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches over me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free Let not your heart be troubled His tender words I hear And resting on His goodness I lose my doubts and all my fears By His path He leadeth Though just one step I may see His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches over me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free (I'm free) I sing because I'm happy (I sing) I sing because I'm happy (Sing because I'm happy) I sing because I'm happy (He's watching over me) I sing because I'm free (Always watching) I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free
