Now He’s Our Father

[Verse 1]
He once was a peach picker, and he toiled in the sun
He reaped the orchard on his own, until the day was done
His hands were hard and calloused, cause he didn't have a choice
He served so many non-believers, 'til he heard the voice

[Chorus]
Now he's our shepherd, and we're his flock
Now he's our captain, and our ship's about to dock
And now he's our keeper, he'll keep us safe from wrath
Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path

[Verse 2]
He once became a beggar, when the wealthy had no work
He'd sit out in the snowfall 'til his toes and fingers hurt
Every flake that fell on him, felt like a demon's kiss
He suffered countless hardships, until he found the Bliss

[Chorus]
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, he'll keep us safe from wrath
Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path

[Verse 3]
They once locked him in prison, though his soul was free from sin
They fed him almost nothing, 'til his face was cold and thin
They slandered him with every crime there was within their laws
He had to face a thousand liars, 'til he knew his cause

[Chorus]
Now he's our shepherd, and we're his flock
Now he's our captain, and our ship's about to dock
And now he's our keeper, he'll keep us safe from wrath
Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path
Now he's our father, gonna lead us down that path
