His Eye is on the Sparrow Lyrics

His Eye is on the Sparrow
(6/8 4 bar intro)

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven an home
Yes Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is he

His eye is on the sparrow
So I know he's watchen over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me 

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me 

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender words I hear 
And restin' on His goodness
I lose all doubts an fears
Though by the path he leadeth
But one step I may see

That His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he's  watchen over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over  me 

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me 

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to cryin'
When hope within me dies
Then I draw the closer to Him
From cares He sets me free

Yes His eye is on the sparrow
So  I know He's watchen over me
Well His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He's watches over me 
Yes His eye is on the sparrow
So I know He's watchen over me________
