Gentle Shepherd lyrics
by Bill Gaither
Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us
For we need You to help us find our way
Gentle Shepherd, come and feed us
For we need You for strength from day to day
There's no other we can turn to
Who can help us face another day
Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us
For we need to You to help us find our way
We live in a time
When our ears are bombarded
By the beckoning voices
And it almost seems as if the world
Is polluted with sound
Lord, wе need to hear You
In a land dissected and muddlеd
By mazes of roads
And never-ending highways
Lord, help us to find Your way
In a world of easy promises
Empty guarantees
And quitclaim insurance policies
Give us the security of Your hand, Lord Jesus
What a time, what a time
We're confused by conflicting authorities
People who would tell us how to manage
Our marriages, our finances
And even our children
O Lord, please show us Your way
As parents, we're walking a tightrope
In these explosive days
Training our little ones to live in a world
For which there are no precedents
Lord, we just need You
In all things, Gentle Shepherd
Help us find Your way
There's no other we can turn to
Who can help us face another day
Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us
For we need to You to help us find our way
For we need You for strength from day to day
Gentle Shepherd
