Lyrics:

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
I know He watches me
He watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubt and fear
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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

He's watchin' over me

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give way 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, yeah-yeah
I sing because I'm happy
Oh, yes, I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
I sing because I'm happy
Oh, yeah, I sing because I'm free, yeah-yeah
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches-
I know He watches-
I know He watches me, yeah-yeah
He watches over me
Oh, yeah

He's watchin' over me
He's watchin' over me
He's watchin' over me
He's watchin' over me
