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
And I sing because I'm happy
And 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
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Though by the path He leadeth but one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
