Now Hes Our Father by The Hope County Choir Lyrics

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

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

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

Now he's our shepherd and we're his flock (he's our shepherd)
Now he's our captain, our ship's about to dock (he's our captain)
Now he's our keeper to keep us safe from wrath (keeper to keep us safe from wrath)
Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path

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 that was within their laws
He had to face a thousand liars 'til he knew his cause
Now he's our shepherd and we're his flock (he's our shepherd)
Now he's our captain, our ship's about to dock (he's our captain)
Now he's our keeper to keep us safe from wrath (keeper to keep us safe from wrath)
Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path (father, he's gonna lead us down that path)

Now he's our shepherd and we're his flock (he's our shepherd)
Now he's our captain, our ship's about to dock (he's our captain)
Now he's our keeper to keep us safe from wrath (keeper to keep us safe from wrath)
Now he's our father...
He's gonna lead us down that path
