The Lord is my Shepherd. He’s been so good to me. The Lord is my Shepherd. He has set my soul free.
But if He is my Shepherd, why do I run from Thee? I may say I’m a Christian, but do I really know what that means. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Have mercy on me.

The Lord is my Counsel. He’s been so good to me. The Lord is my Counsel. He has set my soul free.
But if He is my Counsel, why can’t I hear his plea? I may call him for answers, but I don’t always like what he’s telling me. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Have mercy on me.

The Lord is my Savior. He’s been so good to me. The Lord is my Savior. He has set my soul free.
But if He is my Savior, how can I turn my back on Thee? I may be born in his image, but I’m just a pale shadow of Thee. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Have mercy on me.
