Our Faithful Shepherd

 

 

There are some dry, barren lands we must cross
As God's beloved sheep;
There are dark valleys, difficult mountains,
Some waters rough and deep.
There are enemies to encounter,
Battles to be fought,
Storms to endure,
Lessons to be taught.
Through it all, our Shepherd is faithful,
As our eyes are fixed on Him:
He's the water of life in a dry thirsty land,
The light in the valley dim;
He undergirds as we climb steep mountains,
And carries us through waters deep;
He protects us from the angry wolves
Who seek to harm His sheep;
He fights our battles for us,
And shelters us in the storm,
Teaching us to trust Him
As He keeps us safe and warm.
Praise the Name of Jesus -
The Shepherd of our soul;
We're the people of His pasture -
And He's faithful to His fold.

 

 

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
"For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand..."
(Ps. 23:1; Ps.95:7)
