His Eye is on the Sparrow
Civilla D. Martin
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart be lonely
And long for Heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
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
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Oh-oh… His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
He watches me
