Now He’s Our Father Songtext
von The Hope County Choir

He once was a birch-maker and he toiled in the sun
He reed the orchard on his own untill the day was done
His hands were hard and callused cause he didnt have a choice
He served 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, to keep us save 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 sitdown in the snowfall till his toes and fingers hurt
Every snowflake that fell on him felt like a devil′s kiss
He suffered countless hardships, untill he felt 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, to keep us save from wrath
Now he's our father, he′s gonna lead us down that path
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
They slendered 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, to keep us save from wrath
Now he's our father, he′s gonna lead us down that path
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, to keep us save from wrath
Now he′s our father, he's gonna lead us down that path
