Sheepish

Sometimes they'll be wolves on the horizon

Sometimes they'll be shadows on the path

Sometimes when it seems you're not beside

It's because you're watching my back

Give me eyes to see you

Give me ears to hear

Give me a heart to follow

When it seems the way's unclear

I've got green grass in my teeth

And still water still in my belly

How quickly I forget

And I scatter when things get scary

Forgive my sheepish mind

And give me a heart to trust your son

Sometimes we've been mistreated

By the lesser shepherds of your sheep

In those times we need reminding

Of your sovereignty

Those who are leading are bleating like us

In need of the shepherd's touch

So as much as your heart will let you

Pray them so they can pray for us

I've got green grass in my teeth

And still water still in my belly

How quickly I forget

And I scatter when things get scary

Forgive my sheepish mind

And give me a heart to trust your son
