Oh My Shepherd

VERSE 1

Ooh and loving shepherd, where were you

When I called out for you to help me

Were you too busy, too busy to visit

How could you have forgotten about me

When I had a problem oh so big

Did it seem, seem to you

That I was alright on my own

You didn’t come when I was falling

And when I really, really needed you

Ooh I was tempted beyond my strength

I had a burden I just couldn’t bear

Don’t condemn me for not coming

Coming to church last Sunday

But please, please understand

That some of us need a helping hand

Ooh I knew, I knew what was right

But I didn’t know how to do the right thing

Ooh that’s why I hoped and prayed

I hoped that you would visit me

Ooh, Cos I needed, I needed to see you then

To hear your voice and have you pray for me

Ooh and have you, have you visit me

Just as you did in the past

Oh, we all need a loving shepherd at one time or another

To pray, to pray for me, to visit me

And we all need the helping hand of a loving shepherd

Someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord

INTERLUDE

Ooh and loving shepherd, tell me where were you

When I needed somebody to talk with you

About a fault of mine

That I had carried around for so very long

I couldn’t share it with just anybody

’Cause anybody, anybody wouldn’t understand

And when I couldn’t talk with you

That’s when I felt so all alone

Ooh I know, I know that you love me

But sometimes you don’t know, you don’t know what it’s like

You don’t know what I’ve been through

How hard it’s been for me to come out of sin

Ooh, but I know, when I hear you counseling

And speaking the word of God to me

It’s like Jesus, Jesus healing me

And I feel so strong in the Lord

Ooh, we all need a loving shepherd, at one time or another

To pray, to pray for me, to visit me

Someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord

Someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord
