Green Pastures Lyrics - The Very Best Of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches And Highways - Emmylou Harris

Troubles and trials 

often betray us 

tempting the wearing 

body to stray 

but we shall all meet 

'side the still waters 

with the good shepherd 

leading the way 

Those who have strayed were 

sought by the master 

he who once gave his 

life for the sheep 

out on the mountain 

now he is searching 

bringing them in 

forever to keep 

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 

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 

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
