THE GOOD SHEPHERD IS WATCHING
It is comforting to know that the
Good Shepherd is watching,
His great kindness and His tender mercy
and love ever showing,
Guiding our feet in the paths of sweet
wisdom, truth and light,
Helping us to have dear heavens goal
always in our sight.
He is my Good Shepherd, my Saviour and
eternal trusted friend,
He will lead me by the hand if I am humble
and to Him pray and depend,
However dark the way, however steep
my road may sometimes be,
I can feel His great love and compassion
for a wandering soul like me.
For He has suffered every anguish and felt
every cruel thoughtless pain,
Understands human heartache and hurting,
we need not to Him explain,
For our Dear Good Shepherd who watches
over us every single day,
Suffered pain beyond compare to take both
death and sin away.
I will strive to be worthy of His cruel
sacrifice so divine,
Try be also be a good shepherd as I feel
His pierced hand in mine.
