Lyrics

Behold, I am sending you out
As sheep in the midst of wolves

So be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love
Oh be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love

Do not be anxious
About what to say
Your Father’s Spirit
Is making a way
Just give Him your mouth
There in that hour
Your words of truth
are not from you
But through His power

So be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love
Oh be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love

Go find my lost sheep
I know them by name
Look for the hurting
The blind and the lame
Heal their diseases
Bind up their wounds
Teach them to sing
for the Shepherd-King
Is coming soon

So be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love

Find the lost, heal the sick
Preach forgiveness
Do not fear, raise the dead,
Banish demons
Freely you have received
Freely give to all in need
For the kingdom of heaven is near
Yes the kingdom of heaven is here

Behold, I am sending you out
As sheep in the midst of wolves
Behold, I am sending you out
As sheep in the midst of wolves

So be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love
Oh be wise as serpents
innocent as doves
Rely on your Shepherd
abide in His love
