Sparrows as Stones

"Sparrow" by Poppy

"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.

 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"
