Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven, heaven and home?When, when Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
Oh, oh-oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watched, watched it over meI sing because I'm happy
(Happy)
I sing because I'm free
(Free, free, free)
For His eye, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know I know He watches over me
