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

a constant friend is he

his eye is on the sparrow

and i know he watches 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

his eye is on the sparrow

and i know he watches me

(he watchin' me)

his eyes is on the sparrow

and i know he watchin'

i know he watchin'

i know he watches me
