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,
|
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;
|
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,
|
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.
|
|
