My Shepherd cares for my every need
In my life and along life’s way
He gives me such peace with every trial
Reviving my weary heart each day

His dear rod and staff are my comfort
As I struggle through that dark valley
They guide me to that River of Life
Refreshing my soul from my journey

He guards my path from the enemy
Each moment, each heartbeat, each breath
His love for me has no boundaries
Far reaching to the cross, to His death

Oh Watcher of my soul and my King
Ever watchful, nor sleeping, so kind
I will glorify your name dear Lord
As I await your Kingdom divine
