Good Shepherd

Good shepherd, good shepherd

Help me find my way

Good shepherd, good shepherd

I have gone astray

 

My heart has been broken

By a world of sin

And wolves in sheep’s clothing

Who have wandered in

 

Sometimes in night’s darkness

I hear others cry

And I feel so helpless

Just a sheep am I

 

Good shepherd, good shepherd

Please extend your arm

Protect me from all those

Who would do me harm

 

I get so fearful

I want to run and hide

But I’ll fear no evil

When you are by my side

 

 

I’ve wandered through valleys

Wandered all alone

I cry out, “Good shepherd,

Please come take me home.”

 

I’ve heard you calling

Soft and tenderly

Your voice is familiar

And it comforts me

 

My legs are so tired

I have walked for miles

I need some green pastures

Where I can rest a while

 

Lie down by still waters

And restore my soul

Get filled up so sweetly

Until I overflow

 

Your goodness and your love

They will follow me

All the days of my life

And I will dwell with Thee

 

Good shepherd, you love me

That’s all I need to know

I love you, good shepherd

Don’t ever let me go
