His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Finding Comfort in His Watchful Eye
Lyrics
Why should I feel discouraged?
Expressing questioning feelings of discouragement.
Why should the shadows come?
Raising a query about the presence of shadows in life.
Why should my heart be lonely
Wondering why the heart feels lonely.
And long for heaven and home?
Expressing a desire for heaven and home.
When Jesus is my portion
Acknowledging that Jesus is a constant source of support.
A constant friend is He
Highlighting Jesus as a reliable and enduring friend.
His eye is on the sparrow
Affirming the watchful gaze of God, likened to the care for a sparrow.
And I know He watches me
Expressing confidence in God's vigilant observation.
I sing because I'm happy
Stating the reason for singing: happiness.
I sing because I'm free
Linking the act of singing to freedom.
For His eye is on the sparrow
Reiterating God's watchful eye using the metaphor of a sparrow.
And I know He watches me
Reaffirming the certainty of God's watchful care.
Let not your heart be troubled
Encouraging others not to be troubled in their hearts.
His tender work I hear
Listening to the comforting and tender words of God.
And resting on His goodness
Finding peace by relying on God's goodness.
I lose my doubts and fears
Overcoming doubts and fears through trust in God.
Though by the path He leadeth
Acknowledging challenges along the path of life.
But one step I may see
Accepting uncertainty while trusting God's guidance.
His eye is on the sparrow
Repeating the theme of God's watchful eye on the sparrow.
And I know He watches me
Emphasizing confidence in God's constant watchfulness.
I sing because I'm happy
Reiterating singing as an expression of happiness.
I sing because I'm free
Connecting singing to the freedom experienced.
For His eye is on the sparrow
Stating God's continuous watchful care over the sparrow.
And I know He watches me
Expressing certainty in God's ongoing watchfulness.
Whenever I am tempted
Addressing moments of temptation in life.
Whenever clouds arise
Acknowledging challenges symbolized by clouds.
When songs give place to sighing
Describing a shift from joyous songs to sighs of despair.
When hope within me dies...
Expressing feelings of hopelessness.
I draw then closer to Him
Turning to God for solace and drawing closer to Him.
From care He sets me free
Experiencing liberation from cares through God.
His eye is on the sparrow
Repeating the image of God's eye on the sparrow.
And I know He cares for me
Asserting God's caring nature toward the individual.
I sing because I'm happy
Reiterating singing as a response to happiness.
I sing because I'm free
Connecting singing to the sense of freedom.
For His eye is on the sparrow
Affirming God's continual watchfulness over the sparrow.
And I know He watches me
Expressing unwavering confidence in God's attentive gaze.
His eye is on the sparrow
Repeating the theme of God's watchful eye on the sparrow.
And I know He watches me
Reaffirming the certainty of God's ongoing watchful care.
