YOU ARE THE SHEPHERD,
I belong to You.
When I walk on rough ground,
You can guide me through.
You know my name,
You know my voice.
Before I was born,
I was Your choice.
Show me how to follow,
Lord, keep me close to You.
You are the Shepherd,
I belong to You.
Open eyes to see You are the Way.
Open ears to hear You are the Truth.
Open hearts to know You are the Lord of life.
For every land You hold a special plan.
Show me how to follow, Lord,
Keep me close to You.
You are the Shepherd,
I belong to You.
