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.
"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.
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 watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
lyrics: Civilla D. Martin
tune: Charles H. Gabriel
Zašto da gubim nadu, zašto da plačem sad
Zašto da usamljen sam i čeznem ka smrti
Kad Isus je uz mene, moj prijatelj je On
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me,
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me.
Refren
Ja pevam jer sam srećan, jer slobodan sam ja.
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me.
U srcu mom je radost kad čujem Njegov glas.
On moj je dobri Gospod, On uvek čuva me.
On vodi život moj, uvek sa mnom je
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me,
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me.
Kad dođe iskušenje, nevolja kad je tu
Kad radosti i nade, u srcu mom nema
Tad odlazim kod Njega, jer brige uzima
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me,
On čak i vrapca čuva i znam da čuva me.
prevod: Daniel Sjanta
Prečo žiť bez odvahy, prečo vždy smutný byť.
Prečo byť osamelý a túžiť po smrti.
Veď Ježiš je môj priateľ, môj Pán pri mne vždy je,
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
Refrén
Ja spievam, že som šťastný, lebo som slobodný
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
Radosť je v mojom srdci, keď Jeho hlas čujem
Kochám sa v Ježišovi, strach môj sa vytratí
Hoc' cestu, ktorou vedie, ja často nechápem
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
Pokušenie keď príde, mraky keď povstanú
Keď moja duša začne vzdychať beznádejne
Ja vtedy idem k Nemu, a starosti sú preč
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
On stráži aj len vrabca, aj mňa On stráži, viem.
