[Verse 1]
Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows fall?
Why should my heart be lonely?
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on a spar-a sparrow
And I know he watches, he watching me
[Chorus]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on a spar-a sparrow
And I know, and I know
[Verse 2]
Do you know? Do you know?
If you get lonely, do you know?
He watch, he watch you
[Chorus]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm, I am free
I'm telling you god's eye
His eye is on a sparrow
And I know he will watch
He will watch me
