Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over 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
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
He watches me
I know
He watches
Me
No you wont' die and go off to heaven...but you will sleep in your grave / your human spirit will be ''asleep" in Christ's care... but you grave will be opened at the appointed time...AFTER Christ has completed ''renewing this earth " ... and you'll have His laws written on your mind and in your heart... and be given a full 1000 years to learn it and live by it... now that's worth holding on to and it's LOGICAL... to the fact that HE is coming HERE to earth to set up His ''kingdom" aka government. So don't worry about ''going to heaven'... Heaven 's coming here ...
This was one of my first 3 cassettes owned as a young Christian undergrad in 1984/5. BJ's rendition of "His eye is on the sparrow" was an encouraging companion through those early months as a young believer...
