Standard (EADGBE)

Why should I feel discouraged,

Why should the shadows come,

Why should my heart be lonely,

And long for heav'n and home,

When Jesus is my portion, A constant Friend is He;

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.
