Williams, Deniece - His Eye Is On The Sparrow Lyrics






Why should I feel discouraged?
And 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 am happy
I sing because I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

"Let not your heart be troubled"
His tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose all my doubts and all of my fears
Though by His path He leadeth
Though just one step I may see
God's eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me

So I sing because I am happy
And I sing because I am free
God's eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me, yeah

Ooh...
(His eye is on the sparrow)
(He watches over me)
And I know
(His eye is on the sparrow)
I know He's watching me
(He watches over me)
(His eye is on the sparrow)
I'm so grateful He's watching over me
(He watches over me)
God's eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me

Williams, Deniece His Eye Is On The Sparrow Comments
  1. A.... S....

    Wonderful!!! <3

  2. d.... d....

    How and where can I get or purchase the exact arrangement of this in karaoke/minus one? I've been searching in ages but seems like I can't find one.

  3. S.... M....

    I have been looking for this song since 1996. When I heard it back then on the radio I dubbed it immediately on a cassette from my stereo. I missed hearing the announcement of who the artist was, and all these years I have been desperate for this one. Today I have found it and it's September 05th 2019. All praise be to the Lamb of God on the Throne of Grace for giving me a smile this evening. There are many amazing artists that sung this song but this lady right here had been something special. Isaiah 6: 6 says "then flew one of the seraphims unto me having a live coal in his hand"
    Ms Williams gift unto me has been like that live coal; that is why after 23 yrs my heart was forever lifted to trust God no matter the situation. Thank you.

    Beautiful.

    Verse 2: "Let not your heart be troubled" His tender words I hear
    And resting on His goodness
    I lose all my doubts and all of my fears
    Though by His path He leadeth
    Though just one step I may see
    God's eye is on the sparrow
    And I know He watches over me

    So I sing because I am happy
    And I sing because I am free
    God's eye is on the sparrow
    And I know He watches me
    His eye is on the sparrow
    And I know He watches over me, yeah"
