What PERFECT timing – God is so good!!\u00a0 Read the following words and be blessed this morning! His Eye Is On The Sparrow Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven 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.

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. 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.

\nWhy should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
\nWhen Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
\nHis eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
\nHis eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.<\/p>\n
\nI sing because I\u2019m free,<\/strong>
\nFor His eye is on the sparrow,<\/strong>
\nAnd I know He watches me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAnd resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
\nThough by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
\nHis eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
\nHis eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.<\/p>\n
\nI sing because I\u2019m free,<\/strong>
\nFor His eye is on the sparrow,<\/strong>
\nAnd I know He watches me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWhen songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
\nI draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
\nHis eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
\nHis eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.<\/p>\n
\nI sing because I\u2019m free,<\/strong>
\nFor His eye is on the sparrow,<\/strong>
\nAnd I know He watches me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
