Love And The Outcome's song is a modern rendition of the classic hymn 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow,' offering comfort and encouragement. The lyrics address discouragement, fear, and worry, reminding listeners that Jesus is their constant companion and that God's care is ever-present. The repeated refrain 'I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free' expresses joy and freedom found in faith. The song reassures that even in difficult times, God's mercies are new each morning, and His watchful eye is upon us.

Why should I be discouraged
Oh, when the shadows come?
When Jesus, my portion
My constant, my friend
Is the air inside my lungs?
Why should my heart be troubled
When You're whispering in my ear?
Your voice, drowning out
All the fear and the doubt
Yeah, it's small but I hear it clear
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 know he watches me
I know I know
When my worries are weighing heavy
When the hope in my heart gives out
I sleep and I rise still there's grace in your eyes
And your mercies are new somehow
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 know he watches me
I know he watches me
I know he watches me
I know I know
I know he watches me
I know he watches me
I know I know
