The theme of the song is inspired by the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, as referenced by Mrs. Doolittle in Elmira, NY (see below).

Chapter 6:26
26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Chapter 10:29-31
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Civilla Martin, who wrote the lyrics, said this about her inspiration to write the song based in the scriptures outlined above,

Early in the spring of 1905, my hus­band and I were so­journ­ing in El­mi­ra, New York. We con­tract­ed a deep friend­ship for a cou­ple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doo­lit­tle—true saints of God.

Mrs. Doo­lit­tle had been bed­rid­den for nigh twen­ty years.

Her hus­band was an in­cur­a­ble crip­ple who had to pro­pel him­self to and from his bus­i­ness in a wheel chair.

De­spite their af­flict­ions, they lived hap­py Christ­ian lives, bring­ing in­spir­a­tion and com­fort to all who knew them.

One day while we were vi­sit­ing with the Doo­lit­tles, my hus­band com­ment­ed on their bright hope­ful­ness and asked them for the se­cret of it. Mrs. Doo­lit­tle’s re­ply was sim­ple: "His eye is on the spar­row, and I know He watch­es me." The beau­ty of this sim­ple ex­press­ion of bound­less faith gripped the hearts and fired the imag­in­a­tion of Dr. Mar­tin and me.

The hymn "His Eye Is on the Spar­row" was the out­come of that ex­per­i­ence.

-- Civilla Martin

We sometimes can get over burdened with all of the trials of life. Sometimes, the weight of the burden can seem overpowering and life may take on a dark light.

But you know, If you have ever asked Jesus to come into your life and save you, you can be confident that HE is walking beside you and knows of your situation. If we who are saved will simply trust in His devine will then we can gain the strength to endure any calamity which might beset us.

If you have never asked Jesus to come into your life, and are here, looking at this simple article.. then I tell you this. God has brought you to this website for a reason. If your life is not all that you planned it to be, and you are searching for something different, possibly a way out.. then I tell you their is a solution. I tell you as a person who has experienced the change. Their is a way for you to never be alone again, no matter your circumstances or location. You can have a friend who will never abuse you or forsake you. You can have a friend who can walk with you through every situation. Their is a great difference in walking alone in this cold world and having a friend walk with you.

If you have never met Jesus Christ, I would ask you to CLICK THIS LINK and find out a little about Him. If you want to, and have time, I would also ask you to take a look at this little Gospel Tract... You may find something useful there. Click This Link

I tell you, either you are saved and have Jesus walking with you, or you Can be saved and have Jesus walking with you throughout your life.

This song is so true, His eye is on the sparrow... and if he watches the life of a little sparrow, then I know He watches Me. I hope He is watching YOU!!!
