He once was a peacemaker and he toiled in the sun

He reaped the orchard on his own until the day was done

His hand was hard and callused ′cause he didn't have the choice

He set so many non-believers till he heard the voice

Now he′s our shepherd and we're his flock

Now he's our captain and our ship′s about to dock

Now he′s our keeper, he keeps us safe from wrath

Now he's our father, he′s gonna lead us down that path

He once became a beggar when no wealthy had no work

He'd sit down in the snowfall till his toes and fingers hurt

Every snowflake that fell on him felt like a demon′s kiss

He suffered countless hardships until he found the Bliss

Now he's our shepherd and we′re his flock

Now he's our captain and our ship's about to dock

Now he′s our keeper, he keeps us safe from wrath

Now he′s our father, he's gonna lead us down that path

Oh

Alright

They once locked him in prison, though his soul was free from sin

They fed him almost nothing till his face was cold and thin

He slandered him with every crime that was within their loss

He had to face a thousand liars till he knew his cause

Now he′s our shepherd and we're his flock

Now he′s our captain and our ship's about to dock

Now he′s our keeper, he keeps us safe from wrath

Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path

Now he′s our father, he′s gonna lead us down that path

Yeah
