Mississippi Children's Choir Lyrics
The Shepherd's Song Lyrics
Chorus:
You say that you are my sheep,
why aren't you following me?
You say that I am your shepherd,
why aren't you following me?
My sheep hear my voice, they come running to me;
and you say I am your shepherd,
why aren't you following me?
Verse 1:
I told my sheep to visit the sick
and to take the stranger in.
When you see someone who's naked,
use your wool to cover their skin;
and you say I am your shepherd,
why aren't you following me?
Chorus
Verse 2:
I told my sheep to love one another,
even your enemies too;
but you have love for only those
who have that love for you.
And you say I am your shepherd;
why aren't you following me?
Chorus
