THE SHEPHERD

THE SHEPHERD LEAVES THE FLOCK OF SHEEP

PROTECTED IN THE FOLD,

TO LOOK FOR THE ONE SHEEP THAT'S LOST,

SO LONELY AND SO COLD.

HE LOOKS IN ALL THE BYWAYS AND THE

HIGHWAYS OF THE EARTH.

HE LOOKS IN ALL THE PLACES, FOR HE

KNOWS WHAT THIS SHEEP'S WORTH.

HIS LOVE FOR THE LOST IS ENDLESS,

STRONG AND OH, SO TRUE.

THIS MIGHTY, WONDROUS SHEPHERD

IS LOOKING FOR ME AND FOR YOU.

HE SHALL PREPARE A GLORIOUS MANSION

FOR US SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BLUE.

PLEASE DO COME TO THIS SHEPHERD, JESUS,

FOR HE IS CALLING, CALLING YOU.
