[Verse 1]
Oh, the Lord is my Gentle Shepherd, showing me the way.
Through the darkness, through the sunshine, He will never lead astray.
He is with me every moment, He’s in my heart to stay.
Oh, I feel His arms around me, and I hear Him gently say:

[Chorus 1]
"I am the Gentle Shepherd, watching over you.
I am the Gentle Shepherd, and I’ll surely see you through.
I have been where you’re going, and I know what you have to do.
Oh, I am the Gentle Shepherd, and I gave my life for you."

[Verse 2]
If you’re looking for a Saviour, looking for a friend,
Oh, let Jesus be your Shepherd, He will love you 'til the end.
The door is always open, come now and don’t delay.
And He’ll be your loving Shepherd; He will guide you all the way.

[Chorus 2]
He is the Gentle Shepherd, watching over you.
He is the Gentle Shepherd, and He’ll surely see you through.
He has been where you’re going, and he knows what you have to do.
Oh, He is the Gentle Shepherd, and He gave His life for you.

[Coda]
"I have been where you’re going and I know what you have to do.
Oh, I am the Gentle Shepherd, and I gave my life for you."
He is the Gentle Shepherd.
