Charles H. Gabriel - 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 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; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me [Refrain] 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 word 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; 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 the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
