[Verse]
G G
Why should I feel discouraged,
C Cm D/F#
Why should the shadows come,
Bm Bm7 C
Why should my heart be lonely,
Am D G
And long for heav'n and home,
G Bm C G/B Bm C
When Jesus is my portion, A constant Friend is He;
D Bm C Cm
His eye is on the sparrow,
G D G
And I know He watches me.
[Chorus]
Am D G Em
I sing because I'm happy,
Am D G F/G
I sing because I'm free;
Em D C
For His eye is on the sparrow,
G D G
And I know He watches me.
