Feed My Sheep
Hill
The preacher looked into the crowd and didn’t smile at all
His voice was slow and steady with a bit of southern drawl
His words of condemnation hung like shadows in the hall
And if they were words of Jesus, they were words I don’t recall
For Jesus never said please build an edifice to me
And then proclaim your godliness so all the world might see
But rather let your works speak of the love you see in me
And pray in humble solitude on reverent bended knee
CHORUS
Just one command the master begged us keep
Just one command the master begged us keep
If you love me… if you love me,
If you love me…feed my sheep
He never spoke of well-dressed men to lead us in our quest
Or secret councils to determine which one is the best
To take the role of God’s right hand and wear the golden vest
And pass judgment on the ones who simply cannot pass the test
CHORUS
Instr.
BRIDGE:
If you love me
If you love me
If you love me, feed my sheep
His words were not of laws but of forgiveness for the lost
Offered without judgment, offered without cost
O Lord, give us the grace by your example to be led
‘Till empty hearts receive your peace and empty souls are fed

Paul - really nice tune. I liked the tempo for this message. I loved the mandolin in there. I liked and was intrigued by the unusual structure of your chorus. I think it worked well!
My only critique (and it’s minor) is that the “a - a - a - a” rhyme scheme gets a little tiresome to the ear (at least to my ear). I think it would have a more pleasing sound if you mixed it up a little; e.g.: aabb or abab or abba. just a thought ........
Good song!
