If your eye is on the sparrow
Then I know you'll take care of me
I know you'll take care of me
You're the god who holds tomorrow
You're making a way for me
You're making a way for me
When I'm up and when I'm down
When I'm lost and when I'm found
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own
You count every tear, every breath
And you remember it
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own
If your goodness is unending
There's more that I've yet to see
There's more that I've yet to see
Oh I feel your spirit moving
You're waking my soul to sing
You're waking my soul to sing
When I'm up and when I'm down
When I'm lost and when I'm found
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own
You count every tear, every breath
And you remember it
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own
When I'm up and when I'm down
When I'm lost and when I'm found
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own
You count every tear, every breath
And you remember it
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own (You know)
You know where the sparrow falls
You care for your own
