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. :|

Chorus:
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.

God sees the little sparrow fall
it meets His tender view
If God can love the little bird
I know He loves me too
