Shepherd of Love
Words and music by John W. Peterson

John 10:11
"I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."

        Shepherd of Love, You knew I had lost my way;
        Shepherd of Love, You cared that I'd gone astray.
        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, 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.
