Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend
Is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over 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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me (he watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches,
I know he watches,
I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me (he watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

He watches me, he watches me
I know he watches me
