Why should I be lonely,
Long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
And a constant Friend I know
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He's watching me
Why should I be troubled
When His tender word I hear
Know I rest on His goodness
In my doubt and in my fear
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know...
I sing because He loves me,
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow,
His eye is on the sparrow
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He's watching me
He's watching me
He's watching you
He's watching me
