Shepherd of my Soul

(found this in my draft folder...)

Dark and disappointing days

Deep and descending ways

On the hard, cold edge of life

Wandering in Wilderness

Suffering in silent strife

I need a place to lay me down

To water and to rest

Oh Shepherd of my soul

Guard me now within your fold

Protect me as your little sheep

For I am safe within your keep

I would follow, I would follow

I would quietly pursue

I would follow, I would follow

The narrow way with You.

I will not look to the left

I will not look behind

I will not look to the right

I would take One step at a time

I would follow, I would follow

I would quietly pursue

I would follow, I would follow

The narrow way with You.

Oh Shepherd of my soul

Guard me now within your fold

Protect me as your little sheep

For I am safe within your keep
