The Shepherd's Road
By Jeff Viol
It's late at night It's dark and cold I'm weary and alone A stinging pain
Reminds me that I got here on my own I lost my way I can get back
A sordid flight from grace It looked good then a little more And now I'm in this place
How did I stray this far away again When I know that he is my faithful friend
Chorus:
I fall down to my knees I'm crying Oh why is it always in desperation
For I need your loving hand to guide me Then your lantern pierces though the misty night
There is no way to quantify just what you've done for me,
Just a thankful heart is all I have to offer back your way
Peace of mind is what you give despite all that is wrong
And my heart responds to you in praise and song
Oh won't you go and take me there again What a sight back on the shepherd's road
Chorus:
I fall down to my knees I'm crying Oh why is it always in desperation
For I need your loving hand to guide me Then your lantern pierces though the misty night
Bridge:
There is now power or depth down deep below there is no space
That can tear us from your grace
Chorus:
I fall down to my knees I'm crying Oh why is it always in desperation
For I need your loving hand to guide me Then your lantern pierces though the misty night
Oh won't you go and take me there again What a sight back on the shepherd's road
