If you have read Our Love Story, you can tell by reading the
words to this old, familiar, well-beloved hymn how this fits in
so perfectly! Through all the years of "singleness", through
all the years to come...years of trials & blessings...I KNOW He
watches & cares for us!
Since this song is such a special one to me, I also included it
in one of my books, Our Refuge
, Book II in The Bennett Vignettes, released in August of 2005!!
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!
"Let not your heart be troubled..."
His tender words I hear;
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubt and fears.
Tho' 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 arive,
When song gives place to sighing
And hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him,
From care He sets me free;
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches for me!
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!
