There Is A Need for Shepherds

Verse 1

There is a need for shepherds in this place, where pain and suffering wear a human face; where hungry children stand outside the door, and homeless families long for home once more.

Chorus

There is a need for shepherds in this hour. There is a need for Love to show its power!

Verse 2

There is a need for shepherds on this street, where lonely strangers pass and do not meet; where hopeless people wander in the night, and wonder why life never turns out right.

Verse 3

There is a need for shepherds on this earth, where young and old have lost their sense of worth; where guilty people seek to place the blame on others for their failures and their shame.

Verse 4

There is a need for shepherds everywhere. We who have strayed like sheep must learn to care. We who have known the Shepherd's love today must shepherd one another in God's Way.
