I sang this song at the funeralof my grandfather, Sam Warrington. It makes me think of all of my grandparents. It is a beautiful song, and I wish I wrote it!

lyrics

C F/C C C2 C
Why should I feel discouraged?
F C C7/Bb
Why should the shadows come?
A7 A/C# Dm
Why should my heart be lonely
G7 G/B C
And long for heaven and home
G/C C2 C G7/D
When Jesus is my portion
G7 C G/C C2 C C/E F A7/E Dm
My constant friend is He
Dm7 G7 G7/F C/E C
His eye is on the sparrow
Dm11 Dm7 G7 G9 C G7/D
And I know He watches me
C/E C7/G F Fm
His eye is on the sparrow
C/E C C/G G7 C
And I know He watches me

G G/F C/E C
I sing because I'm happy
G C
I sing because I'm free
C7/E F Fm
His eye is on the sparrow
C/E C C/G G7 C
And I know He watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
These tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
For by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye on the sparrow and I know He watches me

Chorus

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him
From care He sets me free
His eye on the sparrow and I know He watches me

Chorus
