[Verse 1]
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home

[Verse 2]
Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me

[Chorus]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
I want you know that I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
I know
Oh, he watches me
I know
Oh, he watches me
I know
I know
I know he watches me
