Refrain:

Shepherd me, O God, 

beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, 

from death into life.


so nothing I shall want,

I rest in the meadows 

of faithfulness and love,

I walk by the 

quiet waters of peace.


Refrain:

Shepherd me, O God, 

beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, 

from death into life.


and heal my weary soul,

you lead me by pathways 

of righteousness and truth,

my spirit shall sing 

the music of your name.


Refrain:

Shepherd me, O God, 

beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, 

from death into life.


the valley of death,

I fear no evil, 

for you are at my side,

your rod and your staff, 

my comfort and my hope.


Refrain:

Shepherd me, O God, 

beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, 

from death into life.


in the face of hatred,

crowning me with love 

beyond my power to hold.


Refrain:

Shepherd me, O God, 

beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, 

from death into life.


follow me all the days of my life;

I will dwell in the house 

of my God forevermore.


Refrain:

Shepherd me, O God, 

beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, 

from death into life.
