Counting Sheep Lyrics

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 ownLordsong - Counting Sheep - http://motolyrics.com/lordsong/counting-sheep-lyrics.html
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
