His eye is on the sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion;

A constant friend is he.
//His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me.//

I sing because I’m happy;
I sing because I’m free.
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me.
