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
My 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

I know he watches me
His eye, his eye is on the sparrow
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

I know, I know, I know He watches over
He watches over me
