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.
|
|
Refrain
|
|
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 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.
|
|
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 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.
|
|
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
|
