(Traditional)

Why should I feel disgrace
And why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for a heavenly home?

When Jesus is my fortress
And my constant frantasy
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he cares for me.

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know God watches over me
I sing because my soul is happy
And I sing because I'm free.

For his eye is on the sparrow
And I know God watches over me
Yes, I sing because my soul is happy
And I sing because I'm free.

For his eye is on the sparrow
And I know God watches over you and me...
