Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for Heaven and home?
When Jesus is my captain
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
He watches me
