One Shepherd

FolkRockmalevocalsunpluggedacousticguitarviolincello

[Verse 1]
More than 45,000 they say
Varieties of Christians there are today 
Credal walls a mile high,
Faithful to protect the congregants inside.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It wouldn’t be so bad
If you didn’t truly care
For both the starving and the abused,
Doctrinal divides 
They are confused 

[Chorus]
I so grieve for my people
And their feuding ways.
To shepherd them like herding cats
They just don’t know where it’s at.

Jesus is Life’s Bread, 
In Him be filled!
Only in Him be filled!
He alone is your guide 
He alone is your guide!

[Verse 2]
God’s word is always simple
We need Him, so turn to Him
Away from things harmful
Depend on Him, let truth in

Faith’s not a creed
It’s in Him we need.
Grace is not just for forgiveness 
It’s power to in Him succeed.

[Bridge]
The old ways don’t work for today
You must be listening, persisting
To hear from God for today, I say

[Verse 3]
Seek justice 
love mercy 
clearly 
Say you’re sorry,
no excuses!
turn from anger
Make peace with God then man, that’s the plan

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you would please listen 
You’d be better for it
And nations would be blessed
And the nations will be blessed!

[Outro]
And there will be only one Shepherd 
And one flock
And there will be only one Shepherd
And one flock 

And there will be only one Shepherd 
And one flock
And there will be only one Shepherd
And one flock 

[Instrumental]
