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
