R./ Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants, beyond my fears, from death into life.
Verses 1-3
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
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
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
Verse 4 (Bridge)
You have set me a banquet of love
In the face of hatred
Crowning me with love beyond my pow’r to hold
Verse 5
Surely, Your kindness and mercy follow me
All the days of my life
I will dwell in the house of my God, forevermore
