His Eye On The Sparrow Tab

His Eye Is On The Sparrow


Why should I feel discouraged,
                                         
Why should the shadows come,
                                   
Why should my heart be lonely,
                                  
And long for heav'n and home,
                                                                 
When Jesus is my portion, A 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;
                              
For His eye is on the sparrow,
                          
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,

Tho' by the path he leadeth,

But one step I may see;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

Chorus:


Whenever I am tempted,

Whenever clouds arise,

When song gives 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.

Chorus
