Green Pastures Lyrics by Emmylou Harris

Roses In The Snow

1980

[Verse 1]
Troubles and trials often betray those
On in the weary body to stray
But we shall walk beside the still waters
With the Good Shepherd leading the way

[Verse 2]
Those who have strayed were sought by the Master
He who once gave His life for the sheep
Out on the mountain, still He is searching
Bringing them in forever to keep

[Chorus]
Going up home to live in green pastures
Where we shall live and die nevermore
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we shall reach that heavenly shore

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
We will not heed the voice of the stranger
For he would lead us on to despair
Following on with Jesus our savior
We shall all reach that country so fair

[Chorus]
Going up home to live in green pastures
Where we shall live and die nevermore
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we shall reach that heavenly shore
