I Know My Sheep
John · Neofolklore
[Verse 2 - performed opening]
He flees because he cares not for the flock
His empty footsteps answer when the danger nears
But I remain where teeth and terror break the fold
And call My own above the noise they hear
[Refrain]
I know My sheep, and Mine know Me
As the Father knows Me, I know Him
I lay My life down for the sheep
They hear My voice and follow Me
[Bridge]
Other sheep I have, not of this fold
Them also must I bring beneath My word
One fold shall stand beneath one shepherd
One listening people gathered as they heard
[Verse 3]
No man takes My life, I lay it down Myself
I have power to lay it down and take it up again
This commandment I received from My Father
His love remains upon the road I freely take
[Outro]
Some called Him mad, some answered with a sign
Can a devil open eyes once blind?
