Why should I be discouraged, why should the [bad word] 
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 me;

 [bad word] 

And I sing because I'm happy,
And I sing because I'm free,
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow,
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;

 [bad word] 

And I sing because I'm happy,
And I sing because I'm free,
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;

 [bad word] 

And I sing because I'm happy,
And I sing because I'm free,
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

Oh, His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
