Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
And
I sing because I'm happy
And
I sing because I am free, oh I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, I know my God is watching me
Oh His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I am confident He sees me
I know we are never alone
I know He watches me
