B.J. Thomas - His Eye Is On The Sparrow lyrics

Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart be 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 me 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 Let not your heart be troubled His tender work I hear And resting on His goodness I lose my doubts and fears Though by the path He leadeth But one step I may see His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me 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 Whenever I am tempted Whenever clouds arise When songs give place to sighing When hope within me dies... I draw then closer to Him From care He sets me free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He cares for me 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 His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
