Raymond Griffin

“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.”
