God gives a song

I know sometimes there are situations in life when everything around me seems to be going wrong. It isn’t what I wanted or planned for my life, or for my future. I want things to be maybe just a bit easier. Raising twin boys mainly by myself (because my husbands job) is not what I had in mind for my life. After 4 years of wanting children and having beautiful miracles now my husband is hardly home because he works out of state for weeks at a time. Why would God do that to me? I cannot understand the sovereignty of God, but I can say God gives a song! And Guess what? I feel joy because I know it is from God. No, things haven’t changed “But I know He cares for me” and “I sing because I’m happy”.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 cares for me;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He cares for me.
