SHEEP – Sheep of His Pasture by Bro H

Verse 1 From Abraham the promise came Through Isaac and through Jacob's name Twelve tribes beneath the Shepherd's hand A covenant people in the land "We are the sheep of His pasture" The Psalms forever testify Yahweh led them like a flock Beneath the desert sky Chorus We are the sheep of His pasture The flock that wandered far away The Shepherd never lost His sheep He knew where every lamb would stray Scattered among the nations Yet still written in His plan One flock, one Shepherd calling Gathering Israelites again Verse 2 The kingdom split in two that day Judah south and Israel away Assyria swept the tribes afar Beyond the rivers, under different stars We took new names in distant lands Forgot the works of Yahweh's hand Yet through the ages came the call The Shepherd knew us through it all Chorus We are the sheep of His pasture The flock that wandered far away The Shepherd never lost His sheep He knew where every lamb would stray Scattered among the nations Yet still written in His plan One flock, one Shepherd calling Gathering Israelites again Verse 3 Isaiah cried, "Like sheep astray" Jeremiah watched them driven away Ezekiel saw the scattered bands Spread through countries and distant lands "My people have been lost sheep" The prophets spoke with one accord Then promised one great Shepherd-King Would gather them once more Chorus We are the sheep of His pasture The flock that wandered far away The Shepherd never lost His sheep He knew where every lamb would stray Scattered among the nations Yet still written in His plan One flock, one Shepherd calling Gathering Israelites again Verse 4 Then came the Lamb of God as foretold The Shepherd promised long ago "I am sent unto Israel's sheep" The covenant He came to keep "My sheep hear My voice," He said "I know My own, and they are led" Other sheep must hear Him too Till both the Houses are made new Chorus We are the sheep of His pasture The flock that wandered far away The Shepherd never lost His sheep He knew where every lamb would stray Scattered among the nations Yet still written in His plan One flock, one Shepherd calling Gathering Israelites again Verse 5 The apostles carried forth the call To scattered tribes in lands afar Peter wrote to exiles lost Paul proclaimed the Shepherd's heart "Ye were as sheep gone astray" Yet now returned unto your King The Gospel was the Shepherd's voice Calling all the wandering sheep in Chorus We are the sheep of His pasture The flock that wandered far away The Shepherd never lost His sheep He knew where every lamb would stray Scattered among the nations Yet still written in His plan One flock, one Shepherd calling Gathering Israelites again Verse 6 The Shepherd still is calling now To those who hear and humbly bow The promises have not grown dim The covenant still stands in Him One flock beneath one Shepherd One people in His hand The God of Abraham remains Forever as He planned Final Chorus We are the sheep of His pasture The flock that wandered far away Yet every promise to our fathers Still shines as brightly as the day One flock beneath one Shepherd One kingdom stretching sea to sea The God of Abraham and Israel Still keeps His covenant faithfully Outro He that scattered Israel shall gather him... One flock... One Shepherd... One King.
