My Shepherd
by Deborah Ann Belka

My Shepherd never takes me,
to a land that is unknown
nor to fields that are not green
or to where wild seeds are sown.

My Shepherd never leads me,
without a gentle nudge or prod
for He looks out for my safety
with His loving staff and rod.

My Shepherd never guides me,
through terrain that is too steep
for He knows my limitations
and will protect this little sheep.

My Shepherd never shows me,
the way that will steer me wrong
He will see me through each valley
and help me to be brave and strong.

My Shepherd wants to feed me,
in pastures that are rich and lush
and so my thirsty soul will follow
and to His living waters I will rush!

Psalm 23:1

"The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want."
