his eye is on the sparrow

why should i feel discouraged?

and why should the shadows come?

why should my heart be lonely

and long for heaven and home?

when jesus is my portion

my constant friend is he

his eye is on the sparrow

and i know he watches over me

i sing because i am happy

i sing because i am free

his eye is on the sparrow

and i know he watches me

let not your heart be troubled"
