His Eye Is On The Sparrow
(Charles Hutchinson Gabriel [1856-1932] and Civilla D. Martin)

C 
Why should I feel discouraged
F	                 C G/B 
Why should the shadows come
Gm7           A7-9     Dm7 F6
Why should my heart be lonely
G                       C G 
And long for heav'n and home
     C                  G
When Jesus is my portion
   C        C/E       F A7 Dm7
My constant Friend is He
    G      G/F    C/E Am7 
His eye is on the sparrow
      Dm7     G       C G 
And I know He watches me
    C      C/Bb   F/A Fm/Ab 
His eye is on the sparrow 
      C/G     G       C
And I know He watches me


Chorus:
  G                C 
I sing because I'm happy
  G                C
I sing because I'm free  
        C      C/Bb   F/A Fm/Ab
For His eye is on the sparrow
      C/G     G       C 
And I know He watches me 


"Let not your heart be troubled," 
His tender word I hear, 
And resting on His goodness, 
I lose my doubts and fears, 
Tho' 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. 


Chorus 


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.
