Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for heav'n and home,
when Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the Sparrow,
and I know 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.
