My Shepherd

The Shepherd's calling,

Will you answer?

He saves the failing,

Indeed, He's near!

Oh, lift up your voice,

And call to Him;

He knows your toils,

Though it mayn't seem.

He wants to help,

Will you be still?

And let Him help,

Your sorrows heal?

He's just a prayer,

Away from you;

Cast all your cares,

Many and the few.

He knows your pain,

He sees your shame;

Prayer's not in vain,

Praise be His Name!

He'll lift you up,

And help you stand;

He'll with you sup,

Strong is His hand!

His Name is Jesus,

The Prince of Peace;

Son of Righteousness,

I am His!

Holy, faithful, and true,

Grace, mercy, and peace,

Last and the first,

That's who my Lord is!

Life's a speckle

To eternity;

When it's over,

Jesus I see!

Psalm 121 ~ Part II

When things don't work the way you'd plan

And you seem to look to man

Remember God is with you

And His promises too

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When you are on the lurch

And might be singing a dirge

Remember Jesus comforts

And it's so according to His Word

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When things don't work the way you'd wish

And the outcome looks so swish

Remember God loves you

And alone can make us joyful

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When the skies are cloudy

And storms seem likely

Remember Jesus has calm a storm

And He controls all storms

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When things look bad

And you feel so sad

Remember you have a Father who cares

And will help you bear

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When your life's in pieces

And you've made it look useless

Remember Jesus died for you

And will guide you because He loves you

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When you doubt His ability

And wonder if He truly loves you

Remember His Word is true

And He will love you all the way through

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When you began to be able to see

And know His glory

Remember once again He has been with you

And His Word has never and will never ever fail you

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"
