Why do I feel discouraged?
Why do the shadows come
And why does my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion?
A constant friend is 
HeHis eye is on the sparrow
And I know 
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know 
He watches me
So I sing because 
I’m happyAnd 
I sing because 
I’m freeHis eye is on the sparrow
And I know 
He watches me
So I sing because 
I’m happyAnd 
I sing because 
I’m freeHis eye is on the sparrow
And I know 
He watches
And I know 
He watches
And I know 
He watches me
