Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
And why should my heart feel so lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eyes 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
And I know he watches
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
And I know he watches
I know he watches me
