If I could be a little lamb,
I'd stay right by your side.
I'd never wander far at all,
With you I would abide.

Within your flock I'd gladly live
For with them I'd be strong,
And with you as my Shepherd, Lord,
I know I would belong.

I'd see the love there in your eyes
As you look down at me,
And as I learn to be like you,
Through loving eyes I'd see.

Oh, if I could just be with you,
Your lamb I'd gladly be,
And ever would I follow you;
My Lord, I do love thee.
