Story behind the song
Just before His ascension into heaven, Jesus said to Peter Feed my sheep. Based on John 21:15-22.
"Feed My Sheep"
Reading John 21:15-22, stimulated me to write this song. Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, He said to Peter Feed my sheep. How fitting it is that Jesus last command would be to bring His Word to the world by feeding His sheep. As believers, it is our duty to follow Christ and His directions: Follow me, Feed My Sheep.

(Lyrics based on St. John Chapter 21)
(Verse 1)
“Simon, son of Jonas; Simon, son of Jonas;
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?”
“Lord, You know I love You; Lord, You know I love You; Oh, Lord, You know I love You.”
Then Jesus said, “Feed My lambs;
Feed My lambs.”
(Verse 2)
Jesus said, “I say unto you, when you were young,
You would gird yourself and you would walk where you would go.
But, when thou shalt be old and stretch forth thy hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!
Someone else shall gird thee and carry thee where you would not go.
Follow Me.”
(Verse 3)
And Jesus said, for the third time, “Simon, son of Jonas;
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me; lovest thou Me?”
And Peter cried, “For the third time, ‘Lovest thou me?!’
Oh, Lord, You know all things; You know I love Thee!”
And Jesus said, “Feed My sheep. Feed My sheep.
Feed My sheep; Follow Me; Feed My Sheep! Follow Me!
(Tag, repeat and fade)
Oh, Oh, Oh Feed My Sheep! Follow Me! Feed My sheep! Follow Me!
