Counting Sheep - Lordsong
Written by：Atkinson Ricky Lee
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
