His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Finding Peace Beyond Shadows: His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Lyrics
Why should I feel discouraged?
Expressing uncertainty or doubt about feeling discouraged.
Why should the shadows come?
Questioning the arrival of shadows or difficulties.
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
Wondering why the heart feels lonely and yearns for heaven.
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He
Affirming Jesus as a constant companion and source of support.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Reassurance that God is watchful, likened to watching over sparrows.
Let not your heart be troubled, His tender words I hear,
Encouragement to avoid troubled thoughts, recalling comforting words.
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears
Finding peace and dispelling doubts by relying on God's goodness.
Tho' by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
Accepting uncertainty in life's path but trusting divine guidance.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Reiteration that God watches over, using the metaphor of sparrows.
I sing because I'm happy,
Reason for singing: happiness.
I sing because I'm free,
Reason for singing: freedom.
For His eye is on the sparrow,
Reiterating God's watchfulness over sparrows.
And I know He watches me.
Confidence in God's constant vigilance.
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
Facing temptation and challenges, relying on God's presence.
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
Describing moments of despair and the return to God for solace.
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
Experiencing freedom from cares by drawing closer to God.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Reaffirming God's watchfulness over the sparrow, symbolizing care.
I sing because I'm happy,
Repeating the joyous reason for singing: happiness.
I sing because I'm free,
Repeating the liberating reason for singing: freedom.
For His eye is on the sparrow,
Reiterating the comforting thought of God watching over the sparrow.
And I know He watches me.
Confident acknowledgment of God's continual watchfulness.
