You Are My Shepherd

In the word of God we are told that Jesus is our faithful Shepherd who will lead us beside still waters and will always be our guide, and that He will always be with us to shelter us in times of danger and strife. I know that I find this very comforting, and I hope that you do too.

YOU ARE MY SHEPHERD

Oh, Lord, You are my Shepherd,
And I have all that I need,
For You have promised to provide
All my desires, but not my greed.

You lead me to green pastures, Lord,
Where I can safely rest…
And as I wait upon You, my Lord,
By Your presence I am blest.

You lead me to still waters, Lord,
And You restore my thirsty soul –
As I come and drink of You, my Lord,
You will touch me… make me whole.

As I walk the paths of righteousness,
Your Spirit will be my guide –
He'll teach me all Your ways, my Lord,
As He walks right by my side.

When the shadow of death is all around,
I'm not afraid, but full of cheer,
For Your rod and staff, they comfort me,
And I know that You are near.

You've prepared a table for me, Lord,
In the presence of my foes,
And You've given me the shield of faith,
To ward off all their blows.

You've anointed me with oil, my Lord…
You sent Your Spirit like a dove –
Now my heart is filled with joy and peace,
And an abundance of Your love.

Your grace and mercy are with me, Lord,
Both now, and all my life,
And forever I will dwell with You,
Free from worry, pain and strife.
