Verse 1
He makes a place to rest in peaceful pastures
The raging waters still as they are told
His rod and staff bring comfort and protection
His sheep are safe inside the fold
Chorus
Yet the Shepherd gazes toward the distant mountains
He searches for the straying ewe or ram
For the Shepherd at the calm and peaceful fountains
Is the Shepherd of the wayward lamb
Verse 2
I left the fold in search of greener pastures
They never have the grass they claim to hold
The Shepherd saw when I could run no farther
And carried me back to His fold
Repeat chorus
Bridge
For the goodness and the mercy that have kept us
Will lead us safely to the Shepherd’s home
Repeat chorus
