Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should 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 over 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 His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches (I know He watches) I know He watches me (I) I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow I know, He watches me He watches me He watches me I know He watches me.
