Why should I feel discouraged,
why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be
lonely, and long for heav’n 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.
Refrain:
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.
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.
A expressão "Let not
your heart be troubled" é traduzida habitualmente por "Não tenhais
medo!". Na canção "sparrow" significa 'pardal' e é belo
quando a Lindsay diz "His eye is
on the sparrow, and I know He watches me" como se Deus fosse o passarito e
estivesse a olhar para cada um de nós.
