His Eye is on the Sparrow
Finding Peace Beyond Shadows: His Eye is on the Sparrow Meaning
Lyrics
Why should I feel discouraged
Questioning the reason for feeling discouraged.
Why should the shadows come
Questioning the presence of shadows and challenges.
Why should my heart feel lonely
Expressing a sense of loneliness in the heart.
And long for heaven and home
Longing for a connection with heaven and home.
When Jesus is my portion
Affirming Jesus as a personal source of support.
A constant friend is He
Highlighting Jesus as a constant and reliable friend.
His eye is on the sparrow
Focusing on the watchful gaze of God represented as an eye on the sparrow.
And I know he watches me
Reassurance that God is attentive and watching over.
His eye is on the sparrow

I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
Connecting singing to a state of happiness.
I sing because I'm free
Linking singing to a sense of freedom.
His eye is on the sparrow
Reiteration of God's watchful eye on the sparrow.
I know He watches me
Confident acknowledgment of God watching over personally.
I sing because I'm happy
