Story Behind the Song
while reading psalm 23 my mind wandered back to a painting i had seen as a little boy portraying Jesus as the good shepherd. He had a small lamb draped across His shoulders, and i imagined how ti might feel to be that small lamb, one who had wandered off as i hade often done, and whom Jesus had gone after..and carried home.

V1
I cry to You Lord,
In my hour of need,
Listening to Your voice
I follow where You lead….
By meadows and streams
To the place You’ve prepared,
None of my wildest dreams,
Ever could compare…
Ch
If I should ever stray, shepherd me.
And if I should fall away, rescue me.
And when my feet are sore
From this narrow winding tour,
Carry me, carry me.
V2
I thank You my Lord,
For the assurance You give,
Comforted by the thought
You guide me as I live….
You watch over me,
Keep me all of my days,
Jesus, I’m glad You’re here
With me in this place…
Br
I’ll never forget, my friend,
While I was yet lost, You came,
Leaving the flock You tend,
Pursuing me…
