[Verse 1]
Why should my heart be broken?
But a Savior, He's comin' to carry me home
Why should the shadows be worn?
For my Savior is comin' to carry me home
His eye is upon, on the sparrow
And I know, Lord, I know He watches over me
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I sing because I'm happy
Don't you that I sing because I'm free
His eye's upon the sparrow
And I know He watches, watches over me
[Chorus]
And I sing because I'm happy
Don't you know that I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches, watches over me
[Verse 2]
At night, your heart be heavy and broken
But that Savior is comin' to carry me home
His eyes, they're on, on that sparrow
Know He watches, watches over me
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eyes, they're on that sparrow!
Oh, and I know, yes, I know He watches over me
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I sing because I'm happy
Don't you know that I sing because I'm free
Oh, His eye's upon, on that sparrow!
I know, I know He watches, watches over me
