I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Music, lyrics by Nancy Rexford
Recording of performance on March 22, 2009
Jesus: Dear sheep, don't be afraid! I am the good shepherd.
Sheep: But there are so many many dangers out there!
Jesus: I will defend you.
Sheep: It's easy to say that and then to leave us.
Jesus: Who do you think I am?
Some hired hand who runs away and leaves you to the wolves?Sheep: What if a silly lamb wanders and goes astray?
What if we go astray?Jesus: I know every face in my flock.
No matter how far any of you may fall,
You are still within the reach of my crook.
I will pull you back from all harm to the safety of God.
