Frank McComb - His Eye Is on the Sparrow lyrics

[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; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] "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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Hook] 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
