Bellwether

(album: Living Proof - 1990)

Every shepherd has a sheep
That he calls the bellwether
And everywhere the shepherd goes
He's with him
The bellwether soon understands
The heart of the shepherd
And the bond between them grows every day
In every way

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

God's only son left His throne
To become our bellwether
His life He gave to seek and save
The lost sheep
The perfect lamb who knew no sin
Said "here am I, send me"
I'll lead the way so those who strayed
Can follow
Follow me home

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

Now He waits for me and you
To take them the good news
There is a path that leads them home to safety
They're hurting and they're scared
Scattered everywhere
They need to know with open arms, He's waiting

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

Follow him home
Follow him home
