C 
Why should I feel discouraged, 
F                                   C      G/B 
Why should the shadows come, 
G                    A7            D   F 
Why should my heart be lonely, 
G                                C  G 
And long for heav'n and home, 
         C                         G    C                        F  A7 D 
When Jesus is my portion, A constant Friend is He; 
     C                  F         A 
His eye is on the sparrow, 
         C/G       G           C 
And I know He watches me. 


 G                       C     
I sing because I'm happy, 
 G                       C 
I sing because I'm free; 
                              F/A 
For His eye is on the sparrow, 
        C/G        G          C 
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. 

Chorus: 


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. 

Chorus
