Rising Army - The Good Shepherd Lyrics

Truly I tell you hear my voice
The gate is open make your choice
I'm the Shepherd I lead you through
I call your name I'm calling you

You won't follow the stranger's call
You'll run away won't stumble or fall
I am the gate I'm the way
Come and follow don't delay

I am the Good Shepherd I lay down my life
For the ones I love I'll bear every strife
The thief comes to steal to destroy and to kill
But I've come to give life to bring peace and goodwill

The hired hand he runs away
He cares not for you in the darkest of day
But I will stand I'll guard you near
Through the storms and the wolves I'll calm your fear

You won't follow the stranger's call
You'll run away won't stumble or fall
I am the gate I'm the way
Come and follow don't delay

I am the Good Shepherd I lay down my life
For the ones I love I'll bear every strife
The thief comes to steal to destroy and to kill
But I've come to give life to bring peace and goodwill

One flock one Shepherd we are made one
From every land His work is never done
I lay down my life I take it up again
A love so great I'll never end

I am the Good Shepherd I lay down my life
For the ones I love I'll bear every strife
The thief comes to steal to destroy and to kill
But I've come to give life to bring peace and goodwill

Come to me and you'll be free
I am the Shepherd follow me
I lay down my life I lay it down for you
Come and follow my voice is true
