Feed My Sheep

Lyrics

Just as the day was breaking Jesus stood there by the sea But none of us aboard that boat Could tell that it was He Till suddenly our net was full Just as full as it could be And John said, "It's the Lord!" And I rushed to Him by the sea On the shore we ate with Him Just like in days gone by And the words that passed between us I'll remember 'til I die He said, "Simon, do you love Me more Than all these others do? I said, "Lord, you have no closer friend My love for you is true" And then He told me "Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep" As if He disbelieved me He asked me twice again 'Til I said, "Lord, You know everything You know I am Your friend" "If you're My friend", He said You'll do the things I say And love My sheep as I do Till I come for them that day" And then He told me "Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Just feed My sheep" Words of love are easy Actions make it real Promises are worthless It depends on how you feel A hireling just earns wages And he runs when wolves come near The shepherd guards his charges And never yields to fear All He said was "Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep" "Feed My sheep If you love Me Feed My sheep If you really love Me Feed My sheep Feed My sheep" "Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Feed My sheep Just feed My sheep"
