Shepherd of My Heart
====================
w&m: Francis Patrick O'Brien, 1992

[Verse 1]
My shepherd is the Lord, for nothing shall I want;
green are the pastures where I'm led to repose.
Near waters still and deep God will refresh my soul.
I am led onward in ways true to the Name.

[Refrain]
Guide me, O shepherd of my heart;
lead me homeward through the dark, into everlasting day.
Show me the way of truth and light; keep me always in your sight.
May my life never part from the shepherd of my heart.

[Verse 2]
If I should walk one day into the vale of darkness,
no evil shall I fear with God at my side.
There with your crook and staff you give me strength and comfort;
you spread a banquet in the sight of my foes.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
You anoint my head with oil; my cup is overflowing;
goodness and kindness crown the days of my life.
Within the Lord's own house I dwell in peace forever;
within the house of God my soul is at rest.

[Refrain]
