His Eye On The Sparrow by Lauryn Hill
His Eye On The Sparrow
C
Why should I feel discouraged,
F C G/B
Why should the shadows come,
G A7 D F
Why should my heart be lonely,
G C G
And long for heav'n and home,
C G C F A7 D
When Jesus is my portion, A constant Friend is He;
C F A
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;
F/A
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.
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.
Chorus
