[Verse 1] Shepherds among us, steady and kind Watching the flock with a patient mind Out in the field where the good news is shared Teaching with courage, showing they care [Pre-Chorus] When the road is long and the work is wide They keep the Word and the flock beside [Chorus] Thank you for the hands that serve For the faithful hearts that never turn You guard the fold, you guide the way With mercy and truth through every day Shepherd the flock with a willing heart Keep us together, never apart [Verse 2] You help us grow in the work we do Training our steps so our faith stays true When someone falls, you reach out low With righteous kindness and room to grow You keep the congregation clean and strong And help the wandering find where they belong [Chorus] Thank you for the hands that serve For the faithful hearts that never turn You guard the fold, you guide the way With mercy and truth through every day Shepherd the flock with a willing heart Keep us together, never apart [Instrumental] [Bridge] You prepare each word with the Bible near You learn every name, every hope, every fear Through halls we build and gatherings wide You carry the work with a humble stride At hospital doors, in visits made Your quiet love is a sheltering shade [Final Chorus] Thank you for the hands that serve For the faithful hearts that never turn You guard the fold, you guide the way With mercy and truth through every day Shepherd the flock with a willing heart Keep us together, never apart [Outro] Shepherd the flock with a willing heart Keep us together, never apart
