1 Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows, shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely and long for heaven and home. When Jesus is my portion my constant friend is He;?his eye is on, his eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
REFRAIN:
I sing because I’m happy (I’m happy); I sing because I’m free (I’m free), His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
2 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, his eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me, REFRAIN
3 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, his eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me, REFRAIN (x2)
