His Eye Is On The Sparrow
JJ Heller's rendition of the classic hymn 'His Eye is on the Sparrow' offers a gentle, reassuring message of God's constant care. The song addresses feelings of discouragement, loneliness, and longing, but counters them with the truth that Jesus is a constant friend who watches over every believer. The repeated refrain about singing because of happiness and freedom reflects a deep trust in God's providence. This timeless hymn encourages listeners to find peace and hope in the knowledge that God sees and cares for them, just as He cares for the sparrows.
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
A constant friend is He
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
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
