G                         G
Why should I feel discouraged,
C                        Cm          D/F#
Why should the shadows come,
Bm                    Bm7            C
Why should my heart be lonely,
        Am           D            G
And long for heav'n and home,
         G       Bm       C             G/B       Bm           C
When Jesus is my portion, A constant Friend is He;
      D        Bm         C       Cm
His eye is on the sparrow,
         G             D           G
And I know He watches me.

Chorus:

  Am        D              G    Em
I sing because I'm happy,
  Am       D            G   F/G
I sing because I'm free;
            Em      D          C
For His eye is on the sparrow,
         G             D          G
And I know He watches me.
