Like a shepherd who is watching
O'er his flock by day and night
Is the shepherd of God's people
In whom the Lord takes delight.
And just like the gentle shepherd
Who protects and guards each lamb,
God's entrusted in your keeping
The eternal soul of man.
He's placed great confidence in you
To fulfill this Divine role
To feed His flock with Words of Truth,
Living Water for man's soul.
And while on earth the shepherd's role
Will receive no accolade,
In heaven's home where saints abide
You'll appear in God's parade.
So when you stand before the throne
And you hear God call your name,
Be not amazed when you appear
In the Shepherd's Hall of Fame.
