1153. HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW 1905 |
WHY SHOULD I BE DISCOURAGED AND
WHY SHOULD THE SHADOWS COME?
WHY SHOULD MY HEART BE LONELY AND
LONG FOR HEAVEN AND HOME?
WHEN JESUS IS MY PORTION,
A CONSTANT FRIEND IS HE.
HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
AND l KNOW HE WATCHES ME.
HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME.
CHORUS
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.
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 MAY I 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.
REPREAT 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 IS ON THE SPARROW
AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME.
HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME.
REPREAT CHORUS
