Why should I feel disgrace? And why should the shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely And long for a 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 And 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 For His eye is on the sparrow And I know God watches over you and me
