Shepherd of the Wayward Lamb

Lyrics

VERSE ONE
He makes a place to rest in peaceful pastures
The raging waters still as they are told
His rod and staff bring comfort and protection
His sheep are safe inside the fold

CHORUS
(Yet) the Shepherd gazes toward the distant mountains
He searches for the straying ewe or ram
(For) the Shepherd at the calm and peaceful fountains
(Is) the Shepherd of the wayward lamb

VERSE TWO
I left the fold in search of greener pastures
They never have the grass they claim to hold
The Shepherd saw when I could run no farther
And carried me back to His fold

BRIDGE
For the goodness and the mercy that have kept us
Will lead us safely to the Shepherd’s home
