• Praise the Shepherd King

  I never posted the final version of the song that I wrote, "Praise the Shepherd King," and only discovered that when someone was doing a Google search for some other song and found this entry instead.

  Praise the Shepherd King

  Hanging on a tree;
  Despised, for the world to see
  For Your sheep laid down Your life
  No greater love was shown!
  Before the world began
  It all was in Your plan
  To leave Your throne and come to earth
  In the form of man

  Chorus (2x)
  Hallelujah sing!
  Praise the Shepherd King!
  Jesus, the Son of God, was slain--
  Name above all names!

  Pierced through for me,
  Shed Your blood for me
  To appease the Father's holy wrath--
  A perfect, spotless Lamb!
  Was blind, but now, I see
  Was lost, but now, You lead
  Not worthy to be called Your son
  I gladly live for Thee!

  Chorus (2x)
  Hallelujah sing!
  Magnify the King
  All who are within the fold
  Rejoice in grace untold.

  "Turn your hearts to Me;
  Get up and walk again;
  To all who come, I freely give,"
  Declares the Son of Man.
  "Go, proclaim, declare:
  I've set the captives free.
  Walk by faith and not by sight
  And I will be your light!" 

  Chorus (1x)
  Hallelujah sing!
  Glory to the King!
  Let the nations with one voice
  Highest praises bring!

  Final Chorus
  Hallelujah sing!
  Praise the Shepherd King!
  Jesus, the Son of God, was slain--
  Name above all names!
  Jesus, the Son of God, was slain--
  Name above all names!
