Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Why should i feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows fall?
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 a spar-a sparrow
And i know he watches, he watching me

[Chorus]
I sing because i'm happy
I sing because i'm free
His eye is on a spar-a sparrow
And i know, and i know

[Verse 2]
Do you know? Do you know?
If you get lonely, do you know?
He watch, he watch you

[Chorus]
I sing because i'm happy
I sing because i'm, i am free
I'm telling you god's eye
His eye is on a sparrow
And i know he will watch
He will watch me
