I Sing Because I'm Happy!

Why should I feel discouraged?

Why should the shadows come?

Why should my heart be lonely

and long for heaven and home,

When Jesus is my portion?

My constant friend is he:

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches over me.

I sing because I'm happy!
I sing because I'm free,

For his eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches over me.

"Let not your heart be troubled,"

His tender word I hear,

And resting on his goodness,

I lose my doubts and fears;

Though by the path he leadeth

But one step I may see:

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches over me.

I sing because I'm happy!

I sing because I'm free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches over me.
