Why should I feel discouraged Why should the shadows come Why should my heart feel lonely And long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion My constant friend is he 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 Then at your heart be trouble He stand the world I hear And resting all he's goodness I lose my doubt and fears When Jesus is my portion My constant friend is he 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 I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches He watches me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches I know he watches I know he watches me I know he watches me
