A Hymn: I Am The Good Shepherd
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer's Foreword
I do not know how to put my composed words into tunic solfa format, but having leanrt however remotely how to compose songs using local Yoruba format, I decide to come with a work around on how to make my songs internationally acceptable, therefore, I have been mimicking some hymns which I believe anyone who knows how to sing such hymn globally would be able to sing along with me my composed song using the tune that I have used beneath.
HavinHaving said this, I sincerely invite you to join me in singing this newly composed song.
Thanks.
The Composed Song
1. Jesus says 'Am good Shepherd
'Cause a good Shepherd giveth
Even his life for the sheep
To preserve their lives alive
2. Jesus says Am good shepherd
For a shepherd 'll not leave the sheep
But hireling will leave the sheep
When he sees danger coming
3. Jesus says am good Shepherd
And I care even for my sheep
Leading them also to where
They shall find the green pastures
4. Jesus says am good Shepherd
Good Shepherd leadeth the sheep
To where they will find waters
To satisfy and quench their thirst
5. Jesus says am good shepherd
Good shepherd 'ccompany the sheep
Even through darkest valley
The sheep are never alone
6. Jesus says am good shepherd
Even by his rod and staff
He instructed even the sheep
They are verily comforting
7. Jesus says am good shepherd
Good shepherd washes the sheep
Anointing also the sheep
Keeping them even in good health
8. Jesus says am good shepherd
From his hand the sheep do eat
Resting even on his bosom
For he loves the sheep dearly
9. Jesus says am good shepherd
Who 'll also do everything
Even at his disposal
To recover the lost sheep
10. Jesus says am good shepherd
Good shepherd knoweth his sheep
And the sheep know their shepherd
A stranger they 'll not follow
11. Jesus says am good shepherd
'Cause he layeth down his life
Even for redemption of the sheep
Therefore his father loves him
