And how can one hope to so influence them?
Was there once a man most loving and true
Who stands, the example for me and for you?
There is one most humble: a carpenter from birth
Showed love unto all, proved each of his worth
He traveled to find them all over the land
And taught them in parables so they’d understand
His actions were perfect; He lived what he taught
And showed them the price for which souls had been bought
He led those who followed, the Good Shepherd he'd be
His sheep knew His voice and each small lamb knew He
He prayed for them, watched them--their needs were all known
He worked till He filled them. His light always shone
Not one was excluded, no sheep gone astray
Except He would find them, bring them home to stay
He lifted their hearts as He lifted their hands
Showed them the way to break death’s dark bands
This man is our Savior, the Teacher of all
He stretches His arms out each time that we fall
How can I be like Thee, my Savior most true?
Master Teacher of men, that teacher is You.
