Yusef Lateef - His Eye Is on the Sparrow lyrics

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 captain 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 I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free Oh, His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me He watches me
