©Seth F. Weaver, Sr. 11/25/13. This classic hymn has inspired this image. It has been in my head and I’ve been humming it for quite a while. I hope it touches some hearts. A Compullage™ creation. "Why should I be discouraged and why should the shadows fall? 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; His eye is on the sparrow 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 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; 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; His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me…" Lyrics by Civilla D. Martin……Music by Charles H. Gabriel 1905
