His Eye's On The Sparrow

Why should I be discouraged
And why should the shadows fall
And 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

(Chorus)
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
These tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
For by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye on the sparrow
and I know He watches me

(Chorus)

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 on the sparrow
and I know He watches over me

(Chorus)
