And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
I and my Father are one.
Shepherd of love, contentment at last is mine;
Deep in my heart, there's peace and a joy divine.
The future's brighter, burden's lighter,
My cup runs over each day;
Your grace supplied me, now provides me
All that I need for the way.
Shepherd of Love, my Savior and Lord and Guide
Shepherd of Love, forever I'll stay by Your side.
You sought and found me, placed around me
Strong arms that carried me home
No foe can harm me, or alarm me -
Never again will I roam!
Shepherd of Love,
My Savior and Lord and Guide,
Shepherd of Love,
Forever I'll stay by Your side.
