[Verse 1]
Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heaven and home?

[Chorus]
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know that He watches over me

[Verse 2]
"Let not your heart be troubled"
His tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubt and fear

[Chorus]
Though by the pack He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know that He watches over mе

[Bridge]
I sing because I'm happy
And I sing becausе I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know
I know
I know that I know, that I know, that I know
That He's watching over me
[Chorus]
And that His eye is on the little old sparrow
And I know that He's watching over me

[Outro]
Over you and me, oh
Over you and me
He's watching over the sparrow
That's how come that I know
That He's watching over you and me
I know way down in my heart that Jesus is watching over you and me
