I Sing Because I’m Free!

I purchased this necklace at the Faithful Ladies Daycation a few weeks ago. Although there was quite a selection to choose from, when I saw this one I immediately knew it was “the one”.

When the Lord saved me, He gave me a new song. I will admit, there are times that I don’t “feel” like singing – usually when I have my eyes on a problem instead of the GOD of the problem.

The phrase on my new necklace is from a song that was on my heart the other night – “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”. I’m so very thankful for my Saviour – He has been so faithful to me. He has never, ever failed me and I know He never will!

Why 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;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Refrain:
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,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may 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.

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.
