The Good Shepherd
The Lord is my soul mate, who never loses sight of me.
He gives more than I ask, more than I can imagine.
The boundary lines He leads me to
Are pleasant, full of abundant goodness, generous provision.
Though He may lead me through places called ‘difficulty’ or ‘uncertainty’,
He is close by and leads me out into broad places of blessing again.
He strengthens my soul through this journey.
His comfort increases my trust in Him.
He gives me boldness and courage before adversity,
In the faces of all who torment me.
But I am not moved.
His goodness and mercy surround me on every side.
For all the days to come He will care for me.
I will remain together, forever with Him.
Nothing will separate me from His loving presence.
