Song Lyrics: Good Shepherd by Joe L Barnes
[Verse 1]
You make me lie down in fields of green,
Find rest by quiet streams, my soul restoring.
Your rod and staff, they comfort me,
I’ll follow where You lead, fearing nothing.
[Chorus]
Oh, good shepherd, lead me on,
Oh, good shepherd, I’m right where I belong.
I belong here,
I belong here.
[Verse 2]
Right here where You prepare a table before me,
With all my enemies, and serve forgiveness.
And Your goodness and mercy shadow me
For all my history ’til I see Heaven.
[Chorus]
Singing, oh, good shepherd, lead me on,
Oh, good shepherd, I’m right where I belong.
I belong here,
I belong here.
[Post-Chorus]
Right here with You, I belong here,
I’m not going anywhere, I belong here.
[Bridge]
So all my days, I will stay in the house of my Father,
And all my days I’ll remain in the arms of the good shepherd.
Ayy, all my days, I will stay in the house of my Father,
And all my days, I’ll remain in the arms of the good shepherd.
[Verse 3]
Where my soul has finally found its rest,
And I have no request,
I’m in need of nothing.
I’ll be singing—
[Chorus]
Oh, good shepherd, lead me home,
Oh, good shepherd, I’m right where I belong.
I belong here.
