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
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
"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
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
Lyrics by Civilla D. Martin, 1905

Are not five Sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. ST. LUKE 12: 6-7
