Now He's Our Father (feat. Greg Holden)

He once was a peach picker
And he toiled in the sun
He ripped the orchard on his own
Until the day was done
His hands were hard and calloused
He didn't have a choice
He served so many non-believers
Until he heard a voice

Now he's our shepherd
And we're his flock
Now he's our captain
And our ship is about to dock
Now he's our keeper
To keep us safe from wrath
Now he's our Father
So he'll lead us down the path

He once became a beggar
When the wealthy had no work
He'd sit out in the snowfall
'Till his toes and fingers hurt
Every flake that fell on him
Felt like a demon's kiss
He suffered endless hardships
Until he found a bliss

Now he's our shepherd
And we're his flock
Now he's our captain
And our ship is about to dock
Now he's our keeper
To keep us safe from wrath
Now he's our Father
So he'll lead us down the path

They once locked him in prison
Though his soul was free from sin
They fed him with almost nothing
'Till his face was cold and thin
They slandered him with every crime
That was within their laws
He had to face a thousand lies
'Till he knew his cause

Now he's our shepherd
And we're his flock
Now he's our captain
And our ship is about to dock
Now he's our keeper
To keep us safe from wrath
Now he's our Father
So he'll lead us down the path
