Lyrics: Away in the wilderness, far from the crowd, He called his companions to follow and pray. To a height he ascended, touching a cloud; His eyes toward heaven, his feet in the clay. The voice of the father, a thundering thrum: “O listen to him, my beloved, my son!” As sheep to the shepherd, we are his own; Those who walk in his footsteps are never alone. He stands at the threshold of heaven and earth, Of law and the prophets, of blindness and sight; He points to the pathway from death to new birth, From the depths of our darkness to wondrous new light. And oh, what a bridge we could build, what a sign, If only a fraction as brightly we shine. As sheep to the shepherd, we are his own; Those who walk in his footsteps are never alone.
