Why should I be 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
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye's on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

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

And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

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

And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He's watching me
