Lyrics

We Have a Shepherd

We are willful and stubborn
And we're sure we know best
Though we need one another
Some rush on up ahead
And by nightfall we find
Some were lost, some were left
And we cannot save them all

But we have a shepherd
A shepherd who will not sleep
Until he has found us
And brings home the last lost sheep
And brings home the last lost sheep

We are blind to the dangers
And so quick to believe
When the wolves in sheep's clothing
Come to prey on the weak
And they have us surrounded
Before we can flee
And we cannot save ourselves

But we have a shepherd
A shepherd who loves so much
That when we are helpless
He lays down his life for us

Still my heart's prone to wander
From the path I have known
To the wild barren desert
Unprotected, alone
‘Til I'm starving for meaning
My hope has run dry
And I cannot find my way

But I have a shepherd
Who leads where the green grass grows
And there by still waters
The shepherd restores my soul
The shepherd restores my soul
