Original lyrics
ENWhy should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my portion,
My constant Friend is He;
His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know He watches me.
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing becauseI'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I Know He watches me.
