Green Pastures lyrics

Artist  : Emmylou Harris 
Song : Green Pastures
 

(Traditional/Brian Ahern)

Troubles and trials often betray those 
On in the weary body to stray 
But we shall walk beside the still waters 
With the Good Shepherd leading The Way 

Those who have strayed were sought by The Master 
He who once gave His life for the sheep 
Out on the mountain still He is searching 
Bringing them in forever to keep 
  
Going up home to live in green pastures 
Where we shall live and die never more 
Even The Lord will be in that number 
When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore 
  
We will not heed the voice of the stranger 
For he would lead us all to despair 
Following on with Jesus our savior 
We shall all reach that country so fair 

Going up home to live in green pastures 
Where we shall live and die never more 
Even The Lord will be in that number 
When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore
