The Sheep

I go Where I'm told All I do is follow him I'm dumb on my own I tend to wander away You lead me to green pastures to waters where I drink. I run into the Shadow... save me I cry, I weep cause I'm lost I went too far, I'm so confused can't find my way home I'm scared. I don't like it... Oh why did I leave? Lost and Alone in the darkness, it's so cold It's night all the time. Separated from my favorite green meadows It was so much better there! I want to go home! I scream and cry. My heart breaks. Suddenly it's lighter my hope renews... Can I finally get out of this place? I find a new path it wasn't there before... I walk down it slow, not knowing where it leads. Going down this pathway it's so narrow and winding Where is it going? I'm not so sure about this... Then you're there, picking my up You put me over your shoulders you're carrying me home!! I'm feeling ecstatic You finally found me! You examine me later to make sure I'm okay. My eyes cast down. I'm so ashamed my lips can't form words to even say sorry... Then your hand on my cheek, you look into my eyes You tell me "Look around -see what I did for you" I look where you tell me, and there in the pen all alone NO one watching my brothers and sisters! you left them, to look for me? You can't just leave them.... can you? He tilts my head looking me in the face "I love you" he says "I found the lost, you needed me" He sets me down next to still waters and my favorite green meadows He watches us all, I'm where I belong. Safe in his arms forever I'm his to keep... Cause he is my shepherd, and I am his sheep.
