Oh My Shepherd

OH MY SHEPHERD

 

 

VERSE 1

Oooooooh 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

 

VERSE 2

You didn’t come when I was falling

And when I really, really needed you

Oooooh 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

Oh but please, please understand

That some of us need a helping hand

 

VERSE 3

Ooooooh see I knew, I knew what was right

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

Oooooh that’s when I hoped and prayed

I hoped that you would visit me

Ooooooh, cause I needed, I needed to see you then

To hear your voice and have you pray for me

Oooooh and have you, have you visit me

Just as you did in the past

 

CHORUS

Oh, we all need a caring  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 good shepherd

Someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord

 

VERSE 4

Oooooooh and loving shepherd, tell me where were you

When I needed somebody to talk with

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 me

And when I couldn't talk with you

That's when I felt so all alone

 

VERSE 5

Ooooh 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 what I’ve been through

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

Ooooh, but I know, when I hear you counseling me

And speaking the word of God to me

It’s like Jesus, Jesus healing me

And I feel so strong in the Lord

 

CHORUS

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

To pray, to pray for me, to visit me

Yes we all need the helping hand of a loving, good shepherd

Someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord

 

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

Someone to pray for me, to visit me

Whoa we all need the helping hand of a loving, good shepherd

Someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord

 

Whoa, someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord

Whoa, someone who will help me and lead me to the Lord
