Safe Within His Keep

Safe Within His Keep, an award winning song written for SATB or SSAA choir with piano accompaniment by Kathleen Holyoak, has a special message suitable for any worship service.  The words beautifully express that we are all lambs of our constant, loving Savior and Shepherd and that He will never fail or forget us as He gently leads us back to our heavenly home.  Words by Kathleen Holyoak and Gary Croxall are as follows:

Little lambs who roam far beyond the glen,

Christ will lead you gently home, trust that He’s your friend.

Through the darkest storm, o’er the torrent deep,

Let Him carry you in His arms safe within His keep.

Little lambs who stray, quickly falls the night.

See, the Shepherd points the way, follow in His light.

Listen to His voice.  Trust the Master’s care;

Ever near your side, He will guide to meadows bright and fair.

Christ would give His life for one lamb.

He calls each one by name.

He will not abandon you, for none are lost to Him.

Let your heart by still and follow Him.

Little lambs, return to the Shepherds path.

Feed in pastures verdant green, guarded by His staff.

Turn and seek Him now.  Feel His quiet peace

As He carries you in His arms, safely, safe within His keep.
