His Eye Is On The Sparrow (Peterson Michael)

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, My constant friend is he; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. 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. 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.
