His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Music by: Charles H. Gabriel, 1905
Words by: Civilla D. Martin, 1905
Sung by Dottie West
Why should I feel discouraged, and why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heavenly home,
When Jesus is my fortress and my constant friend is He.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know God watches over me.
I sing because my soul is happy, I sing because I'm free,
For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know God watches over me.
Yes I sing because my soul is happy, and I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know God watches over you and me.
Remainder of the song as it was written:
“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 sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For 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.
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.
