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
