His Eye Is on The Sparrow
1. Why should I feel dis-couraged,
Why should the shad-ows come,
why should my heart be lone-ly
And long for heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my por-tion,
my constant friend is He;
His eye is on the spar-row,
I know He watches me;
His eye is on the spar-row,
I know He watches me.
Chorus:
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the spar-row,
and I know He watches me.
2. Let not your heart be trou-bled,
His ten-der word I hear,
Not rest-ing on His good-ness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Tho by the path He leadeth,
But one step I may see;
His eye is on the spar-row,
And I know He watches me;
3. When-ver I am tempt-ed,
When-ev-er clouds a-rise,
When song gives place to sigh-ing,
when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him,
From care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the spar-row,
And I know He watches me.
Chorus:
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the spar-row,
and I know He watches me.
