A Shadow Day

I hate feeling weak...I hate feeling helpless...I hate being discouraged.  There's nothing earth-shattering going on in our lives right now (don't worry!).  It's just one of those days.  I wish I could pull the covers over my head and curl up with Jesse and stay safe in our own fluffy, vanilla-scented, little world.

Maybe only people who are church workers know how I feel today; maybe anyone who works closely with hundreds of people would.  I don't know.  All I know is, somedays, it sure would be nice to get a hug from God.

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
A constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches over 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,
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me 

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches

I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me (He watches me)
He watches me (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 cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me.
