I wrote this song after studying Luke 15 and John 10... the metaphor of the Shepherd and sheep is plentiful in the Word of God and one can extract so much from this lesson. I will attempt to add a recording of me singing this song and playing my ukulele as well. I do not claim talent with singing but I enjoy writing songs. God bless!!
The Great Shepherd
Keep me Lord, on the path you made
Keep my feet from stumbling
Take me Lord, through the narrow way
And I will follow humbly.
For your the Great Shepherd
You care for me
It's your voice that I've heard
No other will I heed.
Keep me Lord, inside your fold
Where I find safety and peace
Take me Lord, into your arms to hold
For I was that lost little sheep.
And your the Great Shepherd
You laid down your life for me
It's all in your Holy Word
This gift you've given freely.
Keep me Lord, from the evil way
Keep temptation from me
If I hear the Stranger say,
“come”, I'll not be deceived.
For your the Great Shepherd
There's no one like Thee
The strength of your staff and your word,
Protection for your sheep.
Keep me Lord, listening
To your voice alone
Take me Lord, and carry me
To my eternal home.
For your the Great Shepherd
On you we can depend
Through this weary life on Earth,
To the next…Amen.
