Lyrics:

Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for a heavenly home?
When Jesus is my portrait
And my constant Friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know God watches over me

I sing because my soul is happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know God watches over me

Yes I sing because my soul is happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know God watches over you and me
