The Shepherd of the Sheep Lyrics

Anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate
Is a thief and a robber
The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him and the sheep listen to his voice

He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him
Because they know his voice – but they will never follow a stranger; in fact
They will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice

I did tell you, but you do not believe
The works I do in my Father's name testify about me
But you do not believe because you are not my sheep
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish
No one will snatch them out of my hand
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all
No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy
I have come that they may have life and have it to the full

I and the Father are one
