His Eye is On the Sparrow

One of the new (to us) hymns recently added to the hymnbook is His Eye Is On The Sparrow. We sang it today and evidently Phoebe rather enjoyed it. 

While she was sitting on the potty before getting ready for bed she started singing the chorus. 

"I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I..." she paused thinking about what the next word might be.

"DO!" she decided (the real words are "I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I'm free!"). 

She sang it that way for the next few minutes: "I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I do!"


Then she decided to change it to: "I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I love mommy!"


She was sweet enough to let me record her singing (if I promised I would send the videos to Naanii).

  1. Nice singing, Phoebe! What a pretty voice!

    I love that song. I go around singing that chorus on occasion. I don't hear it much as most churches here play a bunch of contemporary songs, but I remember hearing that one growing up. What a great song to sing today.

    I sing because I'm happy
    I sing because I'm freeeeeee
    For His eye is on the sparrow
    And I know He watches me.

    Great reminder during these awful times in our country, too!
