Story behind the song
Written for Christmas at Gram's, an Advent Story. A song for Seth the Shepherd, when one of his lambs goes wandering off.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Deep in the woods
By a Cascading stream
There stalked a young shepherd boy,
Hot on a trail!
A print in the mud,
The red stain of blood,
The roar of a lion,
And a sheep's pleading wail
And he took out his knife as he ran from that place
And crashed through the briars
That tore at his face.
And the lion came back, with the speed of a train
And David cried out as he grabbed on his mane:
Chorus:
Just hang on a little longer!
I have come to rescue you!
I will follow you as far as I must!
And though you ran away, I have followed you all day
To take your place in the lion's mouth!
Verse 2:
Down on His knees, by an olive tree,
Jesus knelt praying, 'Can this pass from Me?
But if it's Your will,
I will do as You say
For the debt of the world must all be repaid.'
And Satan came roaring to pounce and destroy
The disciples all turned and fled in the dark
But as Soldiers struck down the King of All Time
The Good Shepherd cried out in the depths of His heart:
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Have you run away
From your home and your God?
Tried to escape all the problems you face?
This world can be evil, and colder than ice
And it's hard to find help or love anyplace
It's a jungle out there
I know you've heard that before
Now you're learning first-hand that it really is true
Now trouble has found you, and there's nowhere to run
But the Good Shepherd follows hard after you:
Chorus:
