Now He's Our Father Songtext
von Greg Holden

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
