Celebrating the Centenary of
Gianna Gobbi
with 100 Days of Joy!
Count Down - Day 70
Song:
God I know you're with me every day
but sometimes from your flock I stray,
and I lack my self away,
from your grace and mercy.

But every hour of the day,
I know that help is on the way,
'cause you laid down your life for me.

You're the Creator and the Good Shepherd,
You protect me from the lion and the leopard,
You shame the devil 'cause the only thing he makes is trouble!

You won't abandon your sheep Lord,
You will not sleep until they're safe Lord,
You protect us with your life,
'cause you're our Shepherd, Lord.

Your Body and Blood to us you gave,
then you amazed us by rising from the grave,
Oh you truly are the Good Shepherd Lord.
