The Lord is My Shepherd

I can find refuge in You, wherever your people are

For You followed your people out of Israel 

As a shepherd follows his flock

Wherever they go to graze. 

Yet, You are attentive to our needs

As a shepherd protects his sheep from the wolf,

Or the misstep off a cliff

Or from getting lost. 

I may find success by the measure of this life,

But can I still see You behind the rocks in the moor?

Wading though the waving grass betwixt the rocks?

How far have I wandered, unknowingly, away?

But I do not lose faith, because You are my shepherd. 

You will not rest until you have found me. 

So sooner or later, I'll be back in your arms.
