Why should I feel discouraged
F                      C
Why should the shadows come
Em            F        C
Why should my heart be lonely
    Dm       G          C
And long for heav'n and home

When Jesus is my portion
           Em        F
A constant Friend is He

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

  Dm     G         C     Am
I sing because I'm happy
  Dm     G         C
I sing because I'm free
        Am     G      F
For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

For His eye is on the spa--rr--ow
      C       G       C
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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies
I draw the closer to him
From care he sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
