Welcome to 

"Keeping Sheep" is the newest release from Lynne Perry Christofferson, prize-winning songwriter and daughter of Janice Kapp Perry.   

"As a mother I really connected with Lynne's songs.  'Keeping Sheep' is now my theme each day; I listen to it whenever I need perspective and the spirit. I imagine 'Keeping Sheep' will become every mother's anthem."

- Marcia, Lake Forrest, CA

Writing from her perspective as mother-of-five and bishop's wife, Lynne offers touching and refreshing insights on the subjects of relationships, motherhood, testimony, and commitment. You've heard a few of Lynne's songs on her mother's albums through the years, but this album introduces her as a bonafide songwriter in her own right. The title song won the top Award of Distinction in the 2001 Relief Society Song Contest.  Perfect for any LDS woman on your gift list this Spring.  (Scroll down for lyrics and audio samples.)

Keeping Sheep
© 2001 Lynne Perry Christofferson

I have a little flock of sheep,
and they are mine to tend and keep.
And I must guard them every day
for little lambs, when left alone will lose their way.

So many voices say to me
a sheepfold is no place to be.
Your time in there is dull and slow
and lambs leave very little room for you to grow.

    Oh if I ever start to stray
    deceived by thoughts of greener pastures
    remind me, Lord, that keeping sheep
    will lead to happier ever afters.
    Will lead to happier ever afters.

Oh surely there will come a day
when all the lambs have left my side
and I am free to roam about
and go exploring other meadows green and wide.

Yet something whispers in my heart
that when my sheep have left this pen
I'll long to stroke their little heads
to draw them close to me and have them young again.

     chorus (repeat)

So while they still are in my care
I pray that I will clearly see
these little lambs within my fold
are tender gifts the master shepherd has given me.
