Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus

We have the victory

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 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;

 

I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free (I’m so free)

For His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

 

Why should I feel discouraged?

Why should the shadows come?

Why should my heart be lonely

And long for heav’n and home,

I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free (I’m so free, thank you Jesus!)

He watches over me!
