Counting Sheep Lyrics - Singles - Lordsong

Another day of provision 

Has come and gone again 

The dark night approaches 

As the flock is gathered in 

But the Shepherd watches closely 

As He counts them one by one 

When the last sheep passes through the gate 

His daily work is done 

But He'll walk the cold 

Dark hillside in search of one lost lamb 

He will never rest 

Until that one is safe and warm again 

He will bring the wondering soul 

Back in so the number is complete 

The Shepherd never sleeps 

But He's always counting sheep 

I'm so ashamed to say 

I've wondered far from His leading way 

Yielding to temptation 

Causing me to stray 

But the Shepherd knows without Him 

I can't make it on my own 

So He comes to rescue me once more 

And He takes me safely home 

But He'll walk the cold 

Dark hillside in search of one lost lamb 

He will never rest 

Until that one is safe and warm again 

He will bring the wondering soul 

Back in so the number is complete 

The Shepherd never sleeps 

But He's always counting sheep 

Woah 

But He'll walk the cold 

Dark hillside in search of one lost lamb 

He will never rest 

Until that one is safe and warm again 

He will bring the wondering soul 

Back in so the number is complete 

The Shepherd never sleeps 

But He's always counting sheep 

Come and lead us, Gentle Shepherd
