The Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd gives his life The Good Shepherd gives his life And receives it back again Anyone who enters the sheepfold Any other way than thru the door is a thief The one who enters thru the door is the shepherd He calls the sheep, and they hear his voice He brings them out and leads them The sheep follow they know the voice They will not follow a stranger The Good Shepherd gives his life The Good Shepherd gives his life And receives it back again I am the door All who came before were thieves The sheep did not listen I am the door Enter and be saved The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy In me have life abundantly The Good Shepherd gives his life The Good Shepherd gives his life And receives it back again The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep A hired hand doesn't care when the wolf approaches He runs away and the wolf attacks I am the good shepherd I know mine and mine know me There are more in other folds to be gathered On flock with one shepherd The good shepherd gives his life No one takes it In authority he gives and receives it back again The Good Shepherd gives his life The Good Shepherd gives his life And receives it back again
