Happy Little Lamb

 

As I suffer through this world, I am cloaked in salvation

I’m a lamb and my Shepherd is the Lord

Come what may my way, every trial or tribulation

Just reminds of my infinite reward

 

I get to live with you and God in heaven

I’m going to walk with you and God eternally

You and me and God in heaven forever

What a happy little lamb that will make me

 

Oh, what a happy little lamb I’m going to be

What a happy little lamb I’m going to be

 

The day you died, I cried and cried, so afraid I’d cry forever

That I ran astray, I would not be consoled

I went searching, high and low, trying to find you, oh, my lover

Till He finally led me back into the fold

 

So I could live with you and Him in heaven

I’m going to walk with you and God eternally

You and me and God in heavenly pastures

What a happy little lamb that will make me

 

Oh, what a happy little lamb I’m going to be

Up in heaven with the Shepherd, you and me

NOTES ON THIS SONG
I dig the film Oh, Brother Where Art Thou, particularly the sound track. I wanted to write a song that would fit into that kind of movie. I often write songs that way as an exercise. This song is the result of one of those exercises.
