Verse 1
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home,
when Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is he:
his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.
Chorus
I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free —
his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.
