CHORUS

You say that you are my sheep,

why aren't you following me?

You say that I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?

My sheep hear my voice, they come running to me;

and you say I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?


VERSE 1

I told my sheep to visit the sick

and to take the stranger in.

When you see someone who's naked,

use your wool to cover their skin;

and you say I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?


You say that you are my sheep,

why aren't you following me?

You say that I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?

My sheep hear my voice, they come running to me;

and you say I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?



VERSE 2

I told my sheep to love one another,

even your enemies too;

but you have love for only those

who have that love for you.

And you say I am your shepherd;

why aren't you following me?


You say that you are my sheep,

why aren't you following me?

You say that I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?

My sheep hear my voice, they come running to me;

and you say I am your shepherd,

why aren't you following me?
