His Eye Is On The Sparrow       (Public Domain)
 
C 
Why should I be discouraged 
   F                        C
And why should the shadows fall 
A7                     Dm
Why should my heart be lonely 
G                        C
And long for heaven and home 
     C           G7
When Jesus is my portion 
   C                  F
My constant friend is He 
    C7         F             C       G7      C
His eye on the sparrow and I know He watches me 
 

Chorus: 

C G7               C
I sing because I'm happy 
  G7               C
I sing because I'm free 
    C7            F             C       G7      C
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me 
 

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