He is the good Shepherd
And He’s laid down his life for His sheep
So out of many nations
He’s gathered one fold in one faith
And He has built His church
On the rock foundation of faith
On apostles and prophets
Who shepherd the people in His place
CHORUS:
There is one faith, one hope and one baptism
One God and Father of all
There is one church, one body, one life in the Spirit
Now given so freely to all
And He gave to Simon Peter
And to all the twelve
The keys of the Kingdom
So darkness shall never prevail
But some of the shepherds
Have pastured themselves on their sheep
So He has come out against them
And scattered His people of faith
(CHORUS)
In good pasture
He will shepherd His people
On the mountain top
He feeds His sheep
He will heal the poor and afflicted
To the prisoner He brings release
(CHORUS)
Yet He’ll not forsake His people
He’ll claim His sheep for His own
He’ll send out His Word to the nations
Regather His people back home
Oh, for He is the good Shepherd
He’s laid down His life for His sheep
So out of many nations
He’s gathered one fold in one faith
