Shepherds Hill

Intro: verse 1 Some days the trail I follow grows too narrow and too dense And I can’t always walk along the top rail of the fence There are times I can’t move forward, times I can’t back out There are times I can’t fly high, beyond a shadow of a doubt verse 2 Stubbornly, I struggle on, not knowing what’s ahead With the tangle still around me when at night I find my bed I toss and turn, and turn and toss, and hold my pillow tight Oh, it’s then I go a-walking, I go walking late at night I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss And I sleep underneath a wooden cross verse 3 The good shepherd whispers secrets in my ear Like a breeze, holy secrets, only I can hear When the morning sun comes softly, I’ll be in my own hard bed But his gentle voice will linger in my soul and in my head verse 4 And I’ll rush into the new day, like a penny candy store Like the greenest adolescent, who doesn’t know the score But I know where to find him when nothing’s going right Oh, I know that he’ll be there, when I go walking late at night I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss And I sleep underneath a wooden cross Outro N.C. On Shepherd's Hill I'll rest my body under the cool and tender moss I lay me down underneath a wooden cross
