Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
And why should my heart be lonely
And alone for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
For his eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches over me
Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
And why should my heart be lonely
And alone for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
For his eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches over me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
God, God's eye is on the sparrow
