Matthew Clark - Everlasting Shepherd
текст песни

I am old now but I remember as a boy,
how I wrestled with the lion
How Goliath bared his teeth just like a beast
and mocked the Lord Almighty.
I recall still the gentle coolness of the water.
How it wore the stones to smoothness
And when Samuel poured the oil, I heard the heart of Yahweh calling

CHORUS
King of Israel, reign upon the throne of my heart
And every knee will bow, even though the nations rebel
Oh Everlasting Shepherd the world sings
Yours is the kingdom now and ever

Who am I Lord that heaven’s maker would be mindful,
of the last in line for battle
that you’d hear the songs of pasture and of praise
and call upon your servant.
May your Kingdom, be the song housed in my body
Though I see my sin before me
In your loving-kindness let this house endure, Oh King Almighty

CHORUS

I’m a shepherd, but I have wandered like sheep
let my hungry eyes lose sleep
Gladly made my bed a den of thieves
still you did not leave me
I am crumbling, as my house decays around me
I am humbled by your promise
I knew the crown was never mine to keep, Oh Holy Shepherd

CHORUS
