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 watchs me
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watchs me
I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free
For his eye is on the sparrow and I know He watchs me
Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
Tho' by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give peace to sighing
When hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him
From care He sets me free
