the good shepherd

quietly he speaks to me. gently he leads me. lovingly the shepherd carries me. he carries me hidden safely in his bosom

i feel his love inside when other times

my friend

i couldn't. he knows just what's best for me;

the good shepherd knows

he knows

just what i need. quietly he speaks. gently the master leads. so lovingly he carries me to

a safe place of rest. and i feel the master's unconditional love

everlasting love

ever so deeply inside of me. i'm so glad jesus knows

just what's best for me. the good shepherd knows -

yea

though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death

i will fear no evil

for jesus is with me. he leads me

he guides me

he hides me

in the shelter of his arms;

he holds me there. the good shepherd knows

just what i need.
