Why Should I Feel Discouraged (His Eye Is on the Sparrow)
Author: Civilla D. Martin, 1869-1948 Hymnal: This Far By Faith #252 (1999) First Line: Why should I feel discouraged Refrain First Line: I sing because I'm happy Lyrics: 1 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’m happy)
I sing because I’m free, (I’m free)
for his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
2 “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 leads me
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. [Refrain]
3 Whenever I am tempted,
whenever clouds arise,
when song gives 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. [Refrain] Topics: Trust; Healing, Forgiveness Scripture: Hebrews 3:17-18 Languages: English Tune Title: HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
