His Eye Is on the Sparrow

Why should I be discouraged, why should the shadows come
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 me;
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
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 doubts and fears;
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
