Jesus, my Lord and comforter
Reigns in the sky above
Guiding His children with tender hand
Blessing their souls in love

Through stormy days and waters deep
He shall be by my side
Never forgetting the paths I tread
Forever with me abide

Watchful Shepherd of my soul
Keeping me safe within His fold
His promises, His heavenly Word
Never growing old

Why do I stray far from His side
Why do I shun his voice?
And why does He keep on loving me
Even when He has a choice?

He could've abandon me in the wilds
Leaving me alone and lost
But He chose to rescue me
But oh, the the price it cost

His life. His blood shed on a cross
A cruel death indeed
And He offered salvation unto me
And now my heart is freed
