His Eye is on the Sparrow lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why should I be discouraged?
Why should the shadow ever come?
Why should my heart feel lonely?
Why should I long for Heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye stays on that sparrow, yeah
I know He watches me

[Chorus]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I've been set free
His eye is on the sparrow
I know He watches me over me

[Verse 2]
Oh, whenever I am tempted
Whenever storms, they rise
When song gives way to sighing
Oh, when hope, hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him
From care, He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow, baby
I know He watches over me
[Chorus]
So I sing because He makes me happy
I sing because I've been set free
His eye is on that sparrow
I know He watches, I know He watches
Yes, I know He watches me
