Good Shepherd, He who knows His own Just as the Father knows the Son His own in Him abiding In darkest pain or brightest hope No fear of evil can take hold As long as He is guiding He slays the wolf, expels the thief His rod and staff, they comfort me He's protecting and providing He leads beside still waters Restores my soul Leads me down, leads me Through the valley Through the unknown The way led by His sovereign hand All we like sheep have gone astray All have turned to their own ways Chasing our own pleasures But He left behind the ninety-nine Found me, gave me abundant life Now I'll dwell with Him forever My God who laid His own life down Who bore my cross to grant me His crown Eternally my treasure He leads beside still waters Restores my soul Leads me down, leads me Through the valley Through the unknown The way led by His sovereign hand Now every gain I have is loss Compared to knowing Christ my God My Savior and Defender Now every gain I have is loss Compared to knowing Christ my God My Savior and Defender He leads beside still waters Restores my soul Leads me down, leads me Through the valley Through the unknown Through the unknown He leads beside still waters Restores my soul Leads me down, leads me Through the valley Through the unknown The way led by His sovereign hand
