Why should I feel discouraged?

Why should the shadows come?

And why should my heart be 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 how he watches me

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches me.

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

For his eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches me.

Yes I know he watches me.

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches me.
