456. HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW


WHY should I feel discouraged, why
should the shadow come
Why should my heart be lonely and long
for heaven my home;
When Jesus is my portion,
My constant friend is He,
His eyes is on the
Sparrow I know He watches me,
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.

Whenever I am tempted, when ever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing,
and hopes within me die.
I draw more closer to Him from sins He sets me free,
His eye is on the Sparrow,
I know He watches me,
His eye is on the Sparrow, and I know He watches me.

“Let not your heart be troubled,”
those tender words I hear;
I'm trusting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fear
Though by the path He leadeth,
but one step I may see
(His eye is on the Sparrow, I know He watches me) 2x
