        to praise?                                              I sing because I‟m happy,

        and unconfined;                                         And resting on His goodness,
        From age to age it never ends; it reaches all           I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path
        mankind.  2/6                                           He leadeth,  but one step I may see;

        as infinity;                                            know He watches me.
        So wide it never passed by one, or it had passed
        by me.  3/6                                             Chorus
                                                                I sing because I‟m happy,
        Verse 4                                                 I sing because I‟m free, For His eye is on the

        above the skies,
        In christ abundantly forgiven, I see thy mercies        Whenever I am tempted,  whenever clouds
        rise.  4/6                                              arise, When songs give place to sighing,  when

        Verse 5                                                 from care He sets me free;
        The depth of all-redeeming love what angel
        tongue can tell?                                        His eye is on the sparrow,  and I know He
        O may I to the utmost prove the gift                    watches me; His eye is on the sparrow,  and I

        Verse 6                                                 Chorus
        Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take                   I sing because I‟m happy,
