Jessi Colter His Eye Is On The Sparrow Lyrics

His Eye Is On The Sparrow Lyrics

Why should I be discouraged 

Why should the shadow ever come 

Why should my heart feel lonely 

Why should I long for heaven and home 



When Jesus is my portion 

My constant friend is he 

His eye stays on that sparrow, yeah

I know he watches me 



I sing because I'm happy 

I sing because I've been set free 

His eye is on the sparrow 

I know he watches over me



Oh, whenever I am tempted

Whenever a storm, they rise

When song give way to sign



Oh, when hope, hope within me dies

I draw closer to him

From care he sets me free

His eye is on the sparrow, baby 

I know he watches over me



So, I sing because he makes me happy 

I sing because I've been set free 

His eye is on that sparrow 

I know he watches 

I know he watches, yes, I know

He watches me
