Civilla D. Martin
Charles H. Gabriel

 
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.

Refrain

I sing because Im happy,
I sing because Im 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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain


Story:

Mrs. William Stillman Martin had experienced the protecting hand of the Lord during an illness. The incident was so precious to her that she wrote the song, God Will Take Care of You.



Once she visited a friend, and related her story and hoping in some way to help relieve the friends depressed state. After hearing the story, the friend said, You know, I shouldnt worry, should I? We are promised in the Bible that God watches over the little sparrows.

They then had a little time of rejoicing over Gods wonderful watchful care and protection.

When she arrived home, Mrs. Martin sat down and penned this song.


Bible Verses
