Shepherd Boy

Words & Lyrics by Ray Boltz & Steve Millikan

Copyright  © 1989

One by one Jesse's sons
Stood before the prophet
Their father knew a king
Would soon be found
And each one passed
Except the last
No one thought to call him
Surely he would never
Wear a crown

CHORUS:
But when others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king
Even though your life seems filled
With ordinary things
In just a moment He can touch you
And everything will change
When others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king

One by one problems come
And dreams get shattered
And sometimes it's hard
To understand
But things like chance
And circumstance
They don't really matter
Our Father holds tomorrow
In His hands

CHORUS

Well it wasn't the oldest
It wasn't the strongest
Chosen on that day
And yet the giants fell
And nations trembled
When they stood in his way

CHORUS

     I hope you enjoyed these lyrics and music.  "Shepherd Boy" is one of my favorite songs because it says so much about how God works.  Those whom God chooses, He equips!  You may not be the strongest or the fastest; you may not be the most intelligent or the most articulate.  But it doesn't matter because God looks at our hearts... He sees what's inside us.  You are special and He has a purpose for your life!  If you'd like to find out more, please visit us at True Life Family Ministries.  Or send me an e-mail.  I'd be blessed to share God's love with you and to assist you in discovering God's purpose and empowerment for your life!

Love in Christ,
