Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heavenly home
When Jesus is my fortress
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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me 
(God watches over me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me
 

I sing because My Soul Is happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me 
(God watches over me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me 
(God watches over me)
He watches you
And I know
God watches over
Me
