Lyrics: 
Who is this shepherd searching for sheep 
Gathering them in his arms 
Pulling them out of the mouth of the beast 
Giving them shelter from harm

Shepherd of justice
When all others fail
Over the mountains you come
Down every dark trail
Shepherd of Justice 
Defender and Ally
Calling the wandering ones
To your wounded side

Who is this shepherd healing the sheep 
Scattered, exploited, abused
Who is this lying beside them in sleep
Binding and healing their wounds

Who is this speaking the word of the Lord
Exposing the predators lair 
Righteous in judgment
He holds to  account
All who harm those in his care

Who is this shepherd feeding his sheep
In forests of safety and peace
Who is preparing improbable feasts
Fruit that was bitter, now sweet
