His Eye is On The Sparrow

By NLC Worship

Lyrics

Why should I feel discouraged?

Why should the shadows come?

Why should my heart be 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 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,

for his eye is on the sparrow,

and I know he watches me.


2 “Let not your heart be troubled,”

his tender word I hear, 

and resting on his goodness,

I lose my doubts and fears;

though by the path he leadeth

but one step I may see:

his eye is on the sparrow, 

and I know he watches 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

for his eye is on the sparrow,

and I know he watches me.


Whenever I am tempted,

whenever clouds arise,

when song gives place to sighing,

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 sparrow,

and I know he watches me.


I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free

for his eye is on the sparrow,

and I know he watches me.
