His Eyes Is on the Sparrow Songtext
von Mahalia Jackson

Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion?
And my constant friend is He


You know his eye, it is on the little ol′ Sparrow
And I know He cares for you and me
His eye is on the little Sparrow
And I know, God is watching over you and me

I sing because my soul is happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye, it is on the little ol′ Sparrow
And I know He's watchin' over you and me
