Woe to you,
Shepherds of Israel:
My sheep you will not feed.
You leave them lost,
Their hunger burns -
Abandoned by your greed
Woe to you,
Keepers of sheep:
Your flock are prey to beasts.
They wander, lost
On hill and mount!
When will your treachery cease?
Woe to you,
Religious men,
Who lead your sheep astray:
Poisonous words
And evil deeds:
But there will come a day
When you will fear
The Mighty Lord
Whose strength you can't defeat,
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
His judgement so complete.
Repent and turn
To David's Son,
The Great Shepherd of the sheep.
In pastures green
He lies you down,
And protects you in His keep.
No longer lost
No longer scared,
He loves with all His heart.
Safe in His arms,
He holds you close
And He will ne'er depart.
