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!
