His Eye Is on the Sparrow by Mark Hayes

Date(s) Performed: February 22

Lyrics

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
and long for heaven and home
when Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He.
His eye is on the sparrow,
yes, I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know He watches me.

Chorus
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free.
For His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know He watches me.

Whenever I am tempted,
whenever clouds arise,
when songs gives place to sighing,
when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him;
from care He sets me free.
His eye is on the sparrow,
and, I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know He watches me.

Chorus
