Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven 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.
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.

I just keep listening to this album, over and over. I appreciate that this album (and Morning to Evening, for that matter), aren't the same mass-produced, cookie-cutter, doctrine-lite offerings that you might find on Christian radio.
This album takes you through the Holy Week and is appropriately reverent, solemn, and finally breaks out into joyful celebration of our Savior in song.
I'm grateful that I stumbled on this album and Green Carpet Players! Keep 'em coming! David Hohulin
