Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
And why should my heart be lonely
And know for heaven and hope
When Jesus sees my portion
A constant friend he is
For His eye is on the sparrow
I know He watches over me

Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come

And why should my heart be lonely
And know for heaven and hope
When Jesus sees my portion
A constant friend he is
For His eye is on the sparrow
I know He watches over me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
God, God's eye is on the sparrow
