Nora Lee (Brooks) Williams

“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.”
