Why should I feel discouraged,

Why should the shadows come,

Why should my heart be lonely,

And long for heav'n and home,

When Jesus is my portion, A constant Friend is He;

His eye is on the sparrow,
C/G G C
And I know He watches me.
[Chorus:]

I sing because I'm happy,

I sing because I'm free;
F/A
For His eye is on the sparrow,
C/G G C
And I know He watches me.
[Verse]
\"Let not your heart be troubled,\"
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears,
Tho' by the path he leadeth,
But one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
[Chorus:]
Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When song gives 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.
