Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A 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 work 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
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
Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies...
I draw then closer to Him
From care He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for 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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
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 A 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 work 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 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 Whenever I am tempted Whenever clouds arise When songs give place to sighing When hope within me dies... I draw then closer to Him From care He sets me free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He cares for 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 His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me Explain Request ×
