His Eye Is on the Sparrow

[Verse 1]

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



[Hook]

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me



[Verse 2]

"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear

And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;

Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me



[Hook]

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me



[Verse 3]

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise

When songs give place to sighing, 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



[Hook]

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me
