Crystal Lewis — His Eye Is on the Sparrow

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 €œLet not your heart be troubled,” His tender words 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 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 the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; 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
