Why should I be discouraged?
Why should the teardrops come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And yearn 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.
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,"
His tender words I hear,
And resting on His goodness
I know no doubt or fear.
Though by the path He leadeth,
Yet one thing 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.
Chorus
