Follow Our Great Shepherd
Do not go our own way
We may go astray;
Follow our great Shepherd
HE will lead us via the narrow way,
To His green pastures,
Beside the still waters;
Where HIS sheep graze.
There we can gaze upon HIS FACE
Hear HIS sweet, gentle voice speak,
Words so comforting in life’s troubled, hectic pace;
As we lie beside the tranquil water,
Let HIM be our guide and teacher.
Let HIM instill in us a reverential fear of Almighty GOD,
So we will faithfully keep HIS commandments;
Let HIM give us the manna of HIS compassionate wisdom:
Love GOD with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself;
As we bask in fellowship with our HOLY GOD,
Let us immerse in HIS fountain of LIVING WATER,
Which sustains and strengthens our soul, forever.
Keep close to our Great Shepherd
His rod and staff will fend off ravenous wolves;
Our Loving Shepherd will free us
From the briars and thorns of life;
HIS PEACE will surround us
In all circumstances; trust CHRIST JESUS,
FOR HE is our SOVEREIGN LORD,
Our SAVIOUR and omnipotent GOD.
