YOUR EYE IS ON THE SPARROW [ADAPTED]
Author(s): Makoto
Songbook: Praise Songs
KeyWords: Freedom From Fear,

Your eye is on the sparrow,
And I know You're watching me.

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for Heav'n and Home,
When Jesus, You're my portion?
My constant Friend You'll be.
Your eye is on the sparrow,
And I know You're watching me;
Your eye is on the sparrow,
And I know You're watching me.

Chorus:
I sing because I'm happy! [Yes, I'm happy!]
I sing because I'm free!
For Your eye is on the sparrow,
And I know You're watching me.

"Let not your heart be troubled,"
Your tender Word I hear,
And resting on Your goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears.
Though by the path You lead me,
But one step I may see,
Your eye is on the sparrow
And I know You're watching me;
Your eye is on the sparrow,
And I know You're watching me.

[Repeat Chorus]

Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to You;
From care You set me free.
Your eye is on the sparrow
And I know You care for me;
Your eye is on the sparrow,
And I know You care for me.

[Repeat Chorus Two Times]
