My Good Shepherd

In my heart and in my mind, I find myself wandering –
Tempted by what’s “better” and “new”.
But the grass isn’t greener at the end of the lies.
I’m lost in another foolish pursuit.

I don’t know where I am, and I can’t find my way back.
My steps have been covered in pain.
I’m as lost as a wandering sheep can be.
I’m in need of my Good Shepherd again.

So, I cry out His name, “Help me Jesus!”
Praying He’ll leave the ninety-nine.
By His mercy and His grace, He’ll hear my voice.
And come looking for me one more time.

He found me! He found me!
My Good Shepherd is true to His name.
Despite my foolish wandering
My Good Shepherd has found me once again.

I shall not want. He makes me lie down
In green pastures by the tranquil sea.
He restores my soul and refreshes my heart.
And provides for my every need.

He knows I’m His, and I know He’s mine.
He knows my wandering belief.
He saw I was lost and gone astray
My Good Shepherd gave His life for this sheep.

On that third day My Good Shepherd rose again
To be my living Savior and Lord.
One day I’ll meet Him face to face
And He’ll shepherd me forevermore

He found me! He found me!
My Good Shepherd is true to His name.
Despite my foolish wandering
My Good Shepherd has found me once
