Why should I feel 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 His eye is on the sparrow And I know 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
Whenever I am tempted Whenever clouds arise When songs give way to sighing And when hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him From care He sets me free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
Ohh His eye is the sparrow And I know He watches me
