The Shepherd’s Arms Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] I wandered farther than I meant to go The night came down, the wind blew cold I tried to stand, but my legs gave way I lay there helpless, too weak to stray Then through the darkness, I heard a sound The Shepherd’s voice, and He knelt down [Verse 2] He lifted me up against His chest Carried me home and gave me rest He washed my wounds and stayed beside Through every long and restless night And when I trembled, afraid of the dark I felt the warmth of the Shepherd’s arms [Chorus] Oh, the Shepherd’s arms How they carried me When I couldn’t walk When I couldn’t see Now I’m standing in the morning sun And the days of fear are gone Don’t let me forget the love Of the Shepherd’s arms [Verse 3] The grass is green, the water’s still I walk again upon the hill No aching wounds, no sleepless nights No searching for Him in the fading light But something troubles this heart of mine Will I forget Him in the peaceful times? [Chorus] Oh, the Shepherd’s arms How they carried me When I couldn’t walk When I couldn’t see Now I’m standing in the morning sun And the days of fear are gone Don’t let me forget the love Of the Shepherd’s arms [Bridge] When I was hurting, I stayed so near I knew His voice, I knew He was here Now I can run where the pastures grow But I don’t want to wander just because I can go I don’t want to need another fall To remember Who carried me through it all [Final Chorus] Oh, the Shepherd’s arms Still they welcome me Not because I’m broken But because I’m His sheep And when the morning sun is warm And the days of fear are gone Let me never forget the love Of the Shepherd’s arms [Outro] I needed You when I couldn’t stand I need You now that I can [Final line] Oh, the Shepherd’s arms
