Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why then should my heart be lonely
And longing for heaven and home

With Jesus as my portion
A constant friend is He
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over 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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
He watches over me
You know
Sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
He watches over me

I sing (yes He watches me)
He watches me (yes He watches me)
When I'm up (yes He watches me)
When I'm down (yes He watches me)
When I'm lonely (yes He watches me)
Yes He's near (yes He watches me)
Yes He's near (yes He watches me)
Yes He's near (yes He watches me)

He has promised "I'm with you"
What He said then He will do

Amazing love this is true
He loves me and loves you too

I say yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)...

Yes He watches me
Yes He watches me
