John 10
Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — The Door and the Thief
He spoke in words they struggled to hear
“A thief climbs in — the door is clear
Who enters wrong comes to steal and tear
But the shepherd walks in without fear
The gatekeeper knows the shepherd’s face
The sheep respond — they know his pace
A stranger’s voice they will not follow
They run from harm — they know what’s hollow”
Chorus — My Sheep Know My Voice
My sheep know My voice when I call
I lead them out — I know them all
They follow Me — not pushed, not forced
They trust the sound of the Shepherd’s voice
Verse 2 — I Am the Door
They did not grasp what He had said
So Jesus spoke again instead
“I am the Door — whoever comes
Through Me will live — not be undone
They’ll go in free — come out restored
Find pasture rich behind this Door
The thief takes life — leaves hearts in ruin
I came that life be overflowing”
Verse 3 — The Good Shepherd
“I am the Shepherd — good and true
I lay My life down for the few
The hired hand will run away
When wolves appear — he will not stay
The sheep are not his own to guard
But Mine I know — each wounded heart
The Father knows Me — I know Him
I lay down My life — take it again”
Chorus — Laid Down Life
No one takes My life from Me
I lay it down — I choose to bleed
I have authority to die
And rise again — the Father’s sign
Verse 4 — One Flock, One Shepherd
“I have other sheep not yet inside
They’ll hear My voice — come to My side
One flock will stand beneath My care
One Shepherd — mercy everywhere”
The crowd split hard at what He said
Some called Him mad — some shook their heads
Verse 5 — Winter in Jerusalem
It was winter — temple grounds
They pressed Him close — a sharpened sound
“If You’re the Christ — then speak it plain”
He said, “My works have made it plain
You do not trust — you do not see
You are not sheep who follow Me
My sheep hear Me — I know their way
They will not perish — not one stray”
Final Chorus — Secure Forever
No one can snatch them from My hand
The Father holds them — firm they stand
I and the Father — fully One
Eternal life — already begun
Outro
They lifted stones — He slipped away
The Shepherd still leads on His way
