Why should I feel disgrace and why should the shadows come

Why should my heart feel lonely and long for a heavenly home

When Jesus is my fortress and my constant frantisy

His eye is on the sparrow and I know he cares for me

His eye is on the sparrow and I know God watches over me

I sing because my soul is happy and I sing because I'm free

For his eye is on the sparrow and I know God watches over me

Yes I sing because my soul is happy and I sing because I'm free

For his eye is on the sparrow and I know God watches over you and me
