His Eye Is on the Sparrow

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

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears

Tho' by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

I sing because Im happy
I sing because Im free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

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

I sing because Im happy
I sing because Im free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
