Why should I be discouraged 

Why should the shadow ever come 

Why should my heart feel lonely 

Why should I long for heaven and home 



When Jesus is my portion 

My constant friend is he 

His eye stays on that sparrow, yeah 

I know he watches me 



I sing because I'm happy 

I sing because I've been set free 

His eye is on the sparrow 

I know he watches over me 



Oh, whenever I am tempted 

Whenever a storm, they rise 

When song give way to sign 



Oh, when hope, hope within me dies 

I draw closer to him 

From care he sets me free 

His eye is on the sparrow, baby 

I know he watches over me 



So, I sing because he makes me happy 

I sing because I've been set free 

His eye is on that sparrow 

I know he watches 

I know he watches, yes, I know 

He watches me
