Refrain:
Shepherd me, O God,
beyond my wants,
beyond my fears,
from death into life.
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.
Refrain:
Shepherd me, O God,
beyond my wants,
beyond my fears,
from death into life.
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.
Refrain:
Shepherd me, O God,
beyond my wants,
beyond my fears,
from death into life.
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.
Refrain:
Shepherd me, O God,
beyond my wants,
beyond my fears,
from death into life.
You have set me a banquet of love
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.
Surely your kindness and mercy
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.
