song sourced from the traditional gospel (check out Sister Rosetta Tharpe yall!), music and lyrics reimagined by Jed Drummond

lyrics

why do i feel so discouraged?
why do the shadows fall?
why does my heart feel so lonely
and long for oblivion?

for sadness is my portion
my constant friend is he
his eye is on the sparrow
and i know that he watches me

i sing because i'm happy
i sing because i'm free
