HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
NOTE: This is NOT the Lauryn Hill version.
This chord chart is based on the ORIGINAL song and melody.
"His Eye Is on the Sparrow" is a Gospel hymn.
The song was written in 1905 by lyricist Civilla D. Martin
and composer Charles H. Gabriel.
I hope you enjoy my chordal reharmonization of this hymn.
