Shepherd Song words and music by Michael Burke
All we like little sheep had gone so far astray
We closed our eyes, turned our heads and went our separate ways
Then the Shepherd of our souls came to take us home
He came to us and gave His love when we were so alone
Now there’s trouble in the flock
I heard someone holler wolf
He’s created quite a shock
But still the Shepherd’s in control
Now if you find you’re alone and you have lost your way
Call out for the Shepherd’s love before it is too late
For outside of the fold you’re weak and easy prey
The wolf desires to have your soul and take your life away
Now there’s trouble in the flock
I heard someone holler wolf
He’s created quite a shock
But still the Shepherd’s in control
Jesus is the Shepherd and the lover of my soul
He’s the One who rescued me
He’ll never let me go

I wanted to share these lyrics because sometimes the church puts too much emphasis on the pastor who is an imperfect human as we all are. There are many churches (flocks) but if the pastor is the shepherd there will be " trouble in the flock".
Jesus is the only Shepherd and we must keep our eyes on him.
