His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Gaithers Homecoming Lyrics

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
I question why I am feeling disheartened and why darkness surrounds me.

Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
Why am I feeling lonely and yearning for a place in heaven?

When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
Despite these feelings, I remember that Jesus is always with me as my constant companion.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
I know that Jesus is looking out for me, just like how He watches over the little sparrow.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I know that Jesus is always watching me and taking care of me, just like how He cares for the little sparrow.

I sing because I'm happy,
Despite any negative emotions, I am able to sing and feel joyous.

I sing because I'm free,
My freedom in Christ allows me to express my happiness through singing.

"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear,
I recall Jesus' comforting words, "Do not let your heart be troubled."

And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
By trusting in His goodness, I am able to let go of any doubts and fears I may have.

Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
Even though I cannot always see the entire path that Jesus leads me on, I trust in Him and take one step at a time.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
I know that even though I may not always understand His plan, Jesus is always watching over me just like how He cares for the little sparrow.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I know that even though I may face hardships and uncertainty, Jesus is always watching over me and taking care of me, just like how He cares for the little sparrow.

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
Whenever I am tempted to give in to negative feelings, or whenever I face troubles and difficulties,

When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
When I feel like I've lost my sense of hope and my joyful songs turn into sad sighs,

I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
I draw even closer to Jesus, who frees me from my troubles and anxieties.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
I know that no matter what happens, Jesus is always watching over me and taking care of me, just like how He cares for the little sparrow.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I know that even when I feel like I'm alone, Jesus is always watching over me and taking care of me, just like how He cares for the little sparrow.

I sing because I'm happy,
Despite any negative emotions, I am able to sing and feel joyous.

I sing because I'm free,
My freedom in Christ allows me to express my happiness through singing.
