Lyrics

Why should my heart be broken?
For my savior is coming to carry me home
Why should the shadows be worn (?)
For my savior is coming to carry me home
His eye is upon, upon the sparrow
And I know, Lord I know, he watches over me
Don’t you know that I sing because I’m happy
Don’t you know that I sing because I’m free
His eye is upon the sparrow
And I know he’s watching, watching over me
Can not your heart be happy and broken?
For my savior is coming to carry me home
His eye is upon the sparrow
And I know he’s watching, watching over me
