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 I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches 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 me He watches me He watches me, I never thought He watches me
