A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

His Eye is on the Sparrow

Listen

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.

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.

All the musicians who've played on our show
Every singer and every band
I pray that God will keep them
And hold them in his hand.
Music is a gift from heaven
Our spirits to renew
God's eye is on the choir
And I know he's watching you.
His eye is on the choir
And I know he's watching you.
