Why do I feel discouraged? 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 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
