Verse 1

C                                  A
The Shepherd leads me out to green pastures
C         G7                  C
Where the clear  sweet waters flow
A                                  C
Though evil shadows are all around me
G7                           C
I'm not afraid  He's there I know

Verse 2

A
The storms may come and rage around me
C              G7       C
I'm not alone  He is my shield
A                             C
And when I'm weary  alone and forsaken
G7                       C
He lifts me up  He is so real

Verse 3

A
Though I may stray into fields that are barren
C                   G7        C
Where danger awaits me  I may go
A                                      C
The Master will search  until He finds me
G7                            C
He'll guide me back  into the fold

Verse 4

A
I'm one of His sheep He will love and protect me
C      G7                     C
When I call  He's there close by
A                                 C
The day draws near for that final journey
G7                            C
To that green pasture  in the sky
