Why Should I Feel Discouraged

(I know he watches me
I know he watches me)

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
And I know he watches me

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

(I know he watches me
I know he watches me)

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on his goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

(I know he watches me
I know he watches me)

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give 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

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

(I know he watches me
I know he watches me)
