Songtexte His Eye Is On The Sparrow - Live Version - Mahalia Jackson
Why should I feel discouraged, 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 me;
His Eye Is On The Sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I′m happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His Eye Is On The Sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His Eye Is On The Sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His Eye Is On The Sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I′m happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His Eye Is On The Sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
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 Is On The Sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His Eye Is On The Sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I′m free,
For His Eye Is On The Sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
