    My Shepherd
    My shepherd, I have wandered from You
    My heart is craving fantasy but found only vanity
    My shepherd, I am calling to You
    My strength can’t last in downpouring rains. My soul is deploring
    In the storms that seem so strong
    And the night just seems so long.
    My shepherd, come and seek for my soul

    My shepherd, bring me back to the fold
    Where I am safe from thieves and wolves
    And warmth enfolds through bitter cold

    My Shepherd, bring my back to the fold
    Where I am under Your tender care
    And not in the Robber’s sly snare
    My shepherd, bring me back to the fold

    My shepherd, I have followed You
    Through the meadows and the mountains along this earthly way
    My shepherd, You have lead me through
    Through the tempest tossed forest and beside the stormy bay
    Through winds blowing strong
    And through nights so long
    My Shepherd, through whatever, lead us to You.

    Oh, Shepherd, I can’t wait to see the heavenly fold
    Where all Your sheep will be gathered together
    Oh, Shepherd, I can’t wait to see what those pastures hold
    Where I’ll be safe in Your arms forever.
