Shepherd, Walk Beside Me (Psalm 23)

Mar 3

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Oh Lord You’re my shepherd
And I am Your sheep
With You close beside me
Oh what could I need
You lead me to water
And pastures green
My soul is restored and
My heart at peace

Verse 2:
And even in the valley
Of shadow and death
My Shepherd, you’re with me
To love and protect
Your rod and Your staff are
A comfort to me
So even in valleys, I’ll trust Your lead

Chorus:
Oh Shepherd, walk beside me
Help me follow where You guide me
Til I dwell in Your house forever
With You, Shepherd
With my Shepherd

Verse 3:
Oh Jesus, Good Shepherd
You’d lay down your life
To find your lost lamb you would
Leave the ninety-nine
The thief comes to steal and
To kill and destroy
But you’ve come to raise us
To lasting joy

Chorus

Bridge (2x):
I know goodness and mercy
Will keep and come after me
As I keep to my Shepherd’s road
My cup it will overflow

Chorus

With You, Shepherd
