His Eye Is On The Sparrow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why should I feel 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:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

[Hook]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

[Verse 2]
"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

[Hook]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

[Verse 3]
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me 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

[Hook]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
