The Good Shepherd

After the food was eaten the thief was betraying
As they walked in the night the Master bid them to hark
The Shepherd led His sheep and they started a-singing
In Gethsemane's garden where the hour was dark

So what voice is that you claim to know
When we speak of joy, death, love, and sin
For the hour has come for us to follow
The one who laid His life down and took it back again

The soldier's came marching with torches a-flashing
The Lord said "I AM" and they fell to the ground
With a kiss the betrayer sealed the Lord's passion
And none of the scattered sheep could be found

So what voice is that you claim to know
When we speak of joy, death, love, and sin
For the hour has come for us to follow
The one who laid His life down and took it back again

They mocked Him and scourged Him with voices a-wailing
They cried crucify Him on Calvary's Hill
But weep for yourselves for there will be no availing
For all was done according to the Father's will

So what voice is that you claim to know
When we speak of joy, death, love, and sin
For the hour has come for us to follow
The one who laid His life down and took it back again
