Lamb At The Gate

Lamb At The Gate

By Paul McCann

I’m a lamb at the gate five footsteps from hell

am I inside or outside , its so  hard to tell .

I’m a lamb at the gate , the good shepherd knows

I’m a lamb at the gate with nowhere to go

the wolfs on the prowl in sheep’s clothing ,you know

thank God  bloods not required since the slaughterhouse closed .

I’m a lamb at the gate  long way from home

I’m begging for mercy , I’m lost and alone .

I’m a lamb at the gate and it’s dark in this place

I am lamb at the gate, trying to keep safe

I’ll never loose hope as long as I have faith

I’m a lamb at the gate sheltered by grace

I’m a lamb at the gate, how long must I wait  ,

I’m a lamb at the gate, how long must I wait  ,

Lock up the butcher and set me free for heavens sake ,
