His Eye Is on the Sparrow by Mahalia Jackson

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heavenly home?

When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

His eyes is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He's watching me
