His Eye Is on the Sparrow Lyrics

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
A constant friend is He

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
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

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender work 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
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

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies...
I draw then closer to Him
From care He sets me free

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me
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

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
