Chorus
Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants,
beyond my fears, from death into life.
Verse 1
God is my shepherd, so nothing I shall want,
I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love,
I walk by the quiet waters of peace.
Verse 2
Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul,
you lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth,
my spirit shall sing the music of your Name.
Verse 3
Though I should wander the valley of death,
I fear no evil, for you are at my side,
your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope.
Verse 4
You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred,
crowning me with love beyond my pow'r to hold.
Verse 5
Surely your kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore.
