[Verse 1]
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
Longing for heaven and home?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When Jesus is my portion, my friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow but He's watching me
[Chorus 1]
And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
But I know, I know-ow-ow
He's watching me
[Verse 2]
Let not your heart be troubled
These tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose all my doubts and fears
[Pre-Chorus 2]
By the path He leads us, one step I see
His eye is on the sparrow but He's watching me
[Chorus 1]
And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
But I know, I know-ow-ow
He's watching me
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies
I draw closer to Him and He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow
But He's watching me
[Chorus 2]
And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
But I know, I know-ow-ow
He's watching me
And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
But I know, I know-ow-ow
I know He's watching me
