Verse 1
G C D G
Ninety nine of the sheep are in the fold
Em C D G
Yet he puts on his coat and he braves the bitter cold
Em C D G
And he steps into the night he could do nothing else
C D G
For he has a fathers heart
Verse 2
G C D G
Onward through the night the shepherd calls the name
Em C D G
Of a little lamb who is lost again
Em C D G
And he hopes against hope he could do nothing else
C D G
For he has a fathers heart
Bridge
Em C G D
Sometimes you think that no one cares about your pain
Em C G D
And you feel so lost and lonesome standing in life’s rain
Em C D G
But He searches for you daily and he never will give up
C D G
For he has a fathers heart
Verse 3
G C D G
The shepherd finds the lamb so cold and all alone
Em C D G
And he gently whispers I’ve come to take you home
Em C D G
I’d never leave you or forsake you for you mean so much to me
C D G
And I have a father’s heart
Verse 4
G Em C D G
Yes God looks to the horizon each and every day
Em C D G
Searching for His sons and daughters who have gone astray
Em C D G
And He hopes against hope He could do nothing else
C D G
For he has a fathers heart
