Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows, shadows come?
Lord, why, why, why should my heart, my heart feel lonely?
And long for heaven, heaven and home

When, when Jesus, Jesus is, He is my portion,
A constant friend, a constant Friend is He
Oh, oh, oh, His eye is on, His eyes is on the sparrow
Oh yes, I, I know, He watches over me.

I sing, I sing because I'm happy (happy). Hallelujah!
I sing because I'm free (free, free, free) I'm free
I know, I know His eye, His eye is on, is on the sparrow,
And I know, I know, He watches over me
