Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows, shadows come
Lord, why, why should my heart feel so lonely, so lonely
And long for heaven, heaven my home
When Jesus, Jesus is my portion?
A constant, my constant friend is He, yes, He is
His eye, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
I sing, I sing because I'm happy
I sing, I sing because I'm free, I'm free
His eye, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, I know He watches over me
I sing, I sing because I'm happy, yes, I am
I sing, I sing because I'm free, I'm free
His eye, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, I know He watches
I know, I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches
He watches over me
