Shepherd Me Gently

Shepherd Me Gently 

Jesus my lord my God and my all

Make me a soul that answers your call.

Make me a servant, faithful and true

One wholly devoted, to following you.

 

Make me contagious, that others may see

The peace and the joy of following Thee.

Make of me thirsty, for all that you are

Hide all my sins, in a singular scar.

 

Jar me awake when I faltering be,

Call to me loudly, and beckon to Thee

Guard me from sin, give me strength when I fail,

For weakly I am, and a sinner so frail.

 

You are my strength, the one boast that I own.

Never one better, or holier known.

Come to me daily, and feed me I pray,

Shepherd me gently, that never I stray.
