What are the lyrics for the shepherd song?

Answer 1

Mississippi's Children Choir "The Shepherd Song"Leader:

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?

When my sheep hear my voice, they come running to me;

and you say I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me? Leader: You say that you are my sheep Why aren't you following me? Chorus: Why aren't you following me? Leader: You say that I am your shepherd Why aren't you following me? Chorus: Why aren't you following me? Leader: When my sheep hear my voice, they come running to me. And you say I am your shepherd, why aren't you following me? Chorus: 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?

Repeat: Leader and 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? Repeat: Leader and chorus
