Shepherd’s Hymn

Words and Music by Holton Johnson

Verse 1:
In quiet moments, I lift my gaze,
To hills and heavens, in awe I praise.
My refuge strong, my guiding light,
In shadows deep, you make all things
right.


Chorus:
Oh, Shepherd true, lead us in grace,
In pastures green, in your embrace.
With thankful hearts, we sing this psalm,
Our trust in you, our eternal calm.


Verse 2:
Beside still waters, your mercy flows,
Restoring souls, in love that glows.
Though trials come, we fear no ill,
Your rod and staff, our hearts instill.


Chorus:
Oh, Shepherd true, lead us in grace,
In pastures green, in your embrace.
With thankful hearts, we sing this psalm,
Our trust in you, our eternal calm.


Verse 3:
Prepare a table, midst foes we dine,
Anointing heads with oil divine.
Goodness and mercy, faithful kin,
Though they are near, Our King will win.


Chorus:
Oh, Shepherd true, lead us in grace,
In pastures green, in your embrace.
With thankful hearts, we sing this psalm,
Our trust in you, our eternal calm.


Verse 4:
With every breath, with every song,
We’ll praise you, Lord, our hearts prolong.
In psalms of old and hymns anew,
Our Shepherd’s love forever true.
