Shepherd of my soul
I give you full control
Wherever you may lead, I will follow
I have made the choice to listen to your voice
Wherever you may lead, I will go
Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle stream
The shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep
The shepherd of my soul will be my guide
When we are lost and every step seems to be wrong, take strength from this shepherd who will lead His flock. When we are feeling helpless that things are at its end with no way of turning back, focus on this shepherd and hold on to faith. When we are feeling tired and drained out, rest in the presence of this harmless, loving and tender shepherd. When we need a shoulder to weep our hearts out on, rest on the compassionate and understanding shoulders of this shepherd and cry it out. Deny no more the hurt and pain within. Face up to what's been buried deep under the layers of dust, dig them all up so that we may give it proper burial. When we feel that all we need is for someone to be there beside us, to hold us and to understand without a word uttered or a judgement passed, Jesus is always there to hold us firmly in His mighty yet gentle and accepting arms. Why look upon man for peace when man is not the source of peace? Why look upon man for understanding when man seek to be understood themselves? Why look upon man for happiness when happiness is not man's to give? Look to Jesus for what the world hasn't the capacity to provide. He may not point out the direction in our time but in His time, He will. We need patience.
