Path of the Shepherd

This song was written for a relief society lesson. A friend of mine was teaching the lesson which was about church leaders, specifically the bishop. It was also December. She wanted a song about the bishop and about Christmas. When sung for her lesson the word prophet in the second verse was replaced with the word Bishop.
Path of the Shepherd
There were flocks in the fields to be tended
When God's angels appeared in the night.
They sang praises of glory that our Savior is born
Go and seek His path tonight.
Chorus
I will follow the path that was followed by the shepherd
Who followed the path to the Lord.
I will walk down the path
Led by footsteps of the shepherd
As he follows the path of the Lord.
There are flocks in this world to be tended
We have leaders who lighten our way
We can look to our Prophet as he follows the path
He will go the chosen way.
Repeat Chorus
I will follow the path that was followed by the shepherd
Who followed the path to the Lord.
I will walk down the path
led by footsteps of the shepherd
As he follows the path, He will show me the path,
I will follow the path of the Lord.
