Life can be so hard here; the path we walk so steep;
So many times we stumble and forget we are His sheep.
We are not alone here--we were not sent to fail;
If we will but endure with faith; o'er trials we will prevail.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know it's on me too;
If I'll my burdens give Him, His great love will see me through.
This stage of life is a test; a scene we all must play;
But our Saviour marked the path for us to follow night and day.
He is our gentle shepherd and on Him we can depend;
While others 'round might fail us, He is our truest friend.
His eye is on the sparrow, the whipoorwill, the dove;
If I prove myself worthy, I'll dwell with Him above.
I must learn to trust Him daily; I must listen and obey;
Keep my heart on where I'm going and never lose my way.
At times I know I'll stumble on this side of the veil,
But through it all I'll trust Him along the straight and narrow trail.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know it's on me too;
With Christ as my companion there is nothing I can't do!
Yes, I am like a sparrow; Jesus makes my grey skies blue--
He bears my burdens for me and His love will see me through.
