Good Shepherd of My Soul

[Verse 1]
Good Shepherd of my soul
Come dwell within me
Take all I am and mold
Your likeness in me
Before the cross of Christ
This is my sacrifice:
A life laid down
And ready to follow

[Verse 2]
The troubled find their peace
In true surrender
The prisoners their release
From chains of anger
In springs of living grace
I find a resting place
To rise refreshed
Determined to follow

[Verse 3]
I’ll walk this narrow road
With Christ before me
Where thorns and thistles grow
And cords ensnare me
Though doubted and denied
He never leaves my side
But lifts my head
And calls me to follow

[Verse 4]
And when my days are gone
My strength is failing
He’ll carry me along
Through death’s unveiling
Earth’s struggles overcome
Heav’n’s journey just begun
To search Christ’s depths
And ever to follow
