Lead Them Home

Strong and sturdy
Yet kind and gentle
He tenderly cares for His lambs
He calls to them by name
They come running
Eager to follow His commands

He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home

Helpless and afraid
Vulnerable and naive
The sheep cannot care for themselves
He knows their fears
He binds their wounds
But for His love they want nothing else

He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home

Danger lurks
Around life's bends
He sees the terror that grips their hearts
His eye is clear
His aim is sure
And He stands ready to give His life

He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home

The sling and the stones
Care and protection
The rod and the staff
Love and correction

He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home
