His Eye is on the Sparrow!

His eye is on the Sparrow,  Listen to it.  I can not get it out of my head.  It was the song we knew for years that we would have at my mother's funeral and I still can't believe it has been sung!  I still can't believe she's truly gone!  She was such an amazing person.  She will inspire me til my dying breath to be the best I can be, then when I have done all I can, rely on God to do the rest.  Actually God needs to do the whole thing.  I am so flawed!  So I have not much to report or say, except I knew this would be hard, just not this hard.  Still muddling through life without my mother.

1. 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.
2. “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.
3. 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.
