Quietly he speaks to me.

Gently he leads me.

Lovingly the shepherd carries me.

He carries me hidden safely in his bosom

I feel his love inside when other times, my friend, I couldn't.

He knows just what's best for me;

The good shepherd knows, he knows

Just what I need.

Quietly he speaks.

Gently the master leads.

So lovingly he carries me to

A safe place of rest.

And I feel the master's unconditional love,

Everlasting love,

Ever so deeply inside of me.

I'm so glad jesus knows

Just what's best for me.

The good shepherd knows -

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for jesus is with me.

He leads me, he guides me, he hides me

In the shelter of his arms;

He holds me there.

The good shepherd knows

Just what I need.
