Lyrics to His Eye Is on the Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my comfort (portion) -
Oh, 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,
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.
