[Verse 1: Kristyn Getty]
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A 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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

[Verse 2: Heather Headley, Kristyn Getty and Heather Headley]
Why should I feel discouraged
And why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heaven and home
When I know that Jesus is my portion (yes He is)
And a constant friend is He
His еye is on the sparrow
And I know He watchеs over me
Oh, I sing because I’m happy (so happy)
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
I know He watches me
He watches me
