Shepherd Me O God
By Marty Haugen


Chorus:
Shepherd me, O God,
beyond my wants,
beyond my fears,
from death into life.

God is my shepherd
so nothing shall I want,
I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love,
I walk by the quiet waters of peace.

Chorus:

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.

Chorus:

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.

Chorus:

You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred,
crowning me with love beyond my power to hold.

Chorus:

Surely your kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore.

Chorus:

Shepher me oh GOd, beyond my wants, beyond my fears, from death into life.
