I ran through rusted fences Mud and blood on my shoes I swore that I was fearless Heart still shaking at the truth Every shadow looked like judgment Every echo felt like shame I was hiding in the thorns then He was calling out my name Why would You cross this broken ground? Why would You tear these briars down? You’re the Shepherd in the storm Crashing over walls I built You chase the one who wanders off Through the dark and through the guilt You lift me on Your shoulders When my legs can’t stand the climb You’re the Shepherd in the storm And the lost one’s Yours this time (oh-oh) I see the cliff I came from Teeth of stone at my back I feel Your robe around me Hear Your footsteps mark the track All the flock is in the distance But You stayed until I turned Every scar on You a promise Every breath in me unearned Why would You bleed to bring me home? Why call my name when I let go? You’re the Shepherd in the storm Crashing over walls I built You chase the one who wanders off Through the dark and through the guilt You lift me on Your shoulders When my legs can’t stand the climb You’re the Shepherd in the storm And the lost one’s Yours this time (yeah) I was the one that kept running You were the One who kept coming (hey!) Through the valley, through the graveyard Through the sound of my own chains I was the one that kept falling You were the One still calling “I will not lose you, child of Mine I will walk through every flame” You’re the Shepherd in the storm Crashing over walls I built You chase the one who wanders off Through the dark and through the guilt You lift me on Your shoulders When my legs can’t stand the climb You’re the Shepherd in the storm Now the lost one’s Yours for life (for life) You’re the Shepherd in the storm And I’m safe in Your design
