Why should I feel discouraged
And why must the shadows come
Tell me why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is, is my portion?
A constant Friend is He
His eye is on
On the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because, 'cause I’m free, oh
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over
Yes, he watches me, yeah
