why should I feel discouraged

why should the shadows come

why should my heart feel lonely

and long for heaven and home



when jesus is my portion

a constant friend is he

his eye is on the sparrow

and I know he watches over me



his eye is on the sparrow

and i know he watches over me



I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

his eye is on the sparrow

and I know he watches me

his eye is on the sparrow

and I know he watches me

he watches me, I know,

he watches me.
