His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Selah's rendition of 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow' is a classic hymn that reassures believers of God's constant care and presence. The lyrics address feelings of discouragement, loneliness, and longing for heaven, but counter them with the truth that Jesus is a faithful friend who watches over every detail of our lives. Drawing from the biblical imagery of sparrows, the song emphasizes that if God cares for such small birds, He certainly cares for us. It inspires joy and freedom in the certainty of God's watchful love, encouraging listeners to trust Him through every season.
Why do I feel discourged
Why do the shadows come
And why does my heart feel 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
So I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
So I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
And I know He watches
And I know He watches me
