Little Sheep

Story Behind The Song

I read the Bible every day, and often am inspired to write songs based on biblical truth. This is one such song. I dedicated it to my friend, Kay Dillard, who is a Little Sheep of Jesus. This song reminds me of her.

Lyrics

Little sheep, little sheep
Following along
Little sheep, little sheep
Sing a little sheep song.
Jesus is my Shepherd
I don't want anything.
He will take care of it all.
He's my Shepherd King.

Little sheep, little sheep
Wandering astray
Little sheep, little sheep
Please come back today.
Lord Jesus is waiting
for you to say you're wrong
Come back now, little sheep.
Sing the Shepherd's song.

Little sheep, little sheep
Resting in the green
Little sheep, little sheep
Drinking from the stream
Oh how well He feeds you
with His living word.
Oh, praise Him, little sheep
Growing in His herd.

Little sheep, little sheep
Skipping down the trail.
Little sheep, little sheep
He will never fail.
When you start to stumble
in a rocky place.
Jesus will gather you up
and give you lots of grace.
He is Lord! (BAAAAAAA)


A crystal clear pleasant voice, a beautiful catchy tune, a kind song filled with light energy.

Love the high vocal parts, accents song nicely.

I loved the song. it is always a good reminder Jesus is there for us.

Although it is obviously not intended to be a top ten radio hit, it is a fun children's song with a positive message. Simple, but effective guitar accompaniment. The message could easily apply to some of us "bigger sheep" too. The lyrics go well with the musical tune, and the addition of the "baas" of the sheep at the end could help children relate more to the lyrics.

A very beautiful song, great lyrics & message, as well as very nice instruments. The sheep on the end was a great surprise!!

nice children's tune for the Christian audience, might even with more instrumentation be a cool christmas tune! i'd consider a few more backing instruments, bells, etc.

Would be a good children's song. I can see this being sung in a children's Sunday school or play.

Loved the whistle, the harmony works, I liked the reverb, I see you sitting on steps near the altar in the little white church in the dell singing to the children
