Lyrics: 
Shepherd and sheep, my God and I to fresh green fields you led my steps in days gone by.

You gave me rest by quiet springs and filled my soul with peace your loving presence brings.

Yet now I tread a different way; Death dogs my path with stealthy steps from day to day.

I cannot find your peaceful place But dwell in dreary darkness, longing for your face.

I will look back in days to come and realize your faithfulness has led me home.

Within your house I’ll find my peace, trusting that in your mercy you have sheltered me.
