When the Lord saved me, He gave me a new song. I will admit, there are times that I don\u2019t \u201cfeel\u201d like singing – usually when I have my eyes on a problem instead of the GOD of the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav\u2019n 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrain:<\/em>
I sing because I\u2019m happy, I sing because I\u2019m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet not your heart be troubled,\u201d 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
