Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart feel lonely?
And long for heaven and home.

When Jesus sees my portion,
Oh our constant friend is He;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me, he watchin' me.

His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watched me.

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

His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches (I know, I know) I know He watches
Yeah I know He watches me

I, I sing because I'm happy
I sing (I sing) because (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

I know He watches me.
