Special Sheep

orchidee



Tune: Buckland

('Loving Shepherd of thy sheep')

***********

Sheep seem same, yet in one fold

Good Shepherd your love will hold

Each one safe, and pastures true

You lead them to, they know you

 

If one strays, Shepherd will seek

'Til He finds it, then strong, meek

On Hi shoulder He will lay

Bring it back into the way

 

Sheep a crowd, yet for each one

You redemption's work have done

None useless, all a purpose

Here, for you do care for us

 

Though gentle, there discipline

You do forgive, cleanse from sin

With you e'er we sure abide

No better Shepherd beside
