Tending the Sheep

Here I am Lord

Tending the sheep

You have placed before me


I am not in hurry

To find what the future holds


Here I am Lord

Tending the sheep

You have given me


I will not abandon the work

You have placed inside my hands


Here I am Lord

Being still in Your presence

Waiting only for Your word


I am not in hurry

To follow my own plans


I only desire to be where You are

For that is where I find life

And my soul finds total rest


In this pasture

You have placed me

There is no other place I'd rather be

Here, I will serve You humbly

Joyfully and with a quiet

And uplifted spirit


For it is in this place

That You teach me

How to be content

And how to live

In intimacy with You


You, Oh Lord, satisfy my spirit

To the fullest!


It is here You refine my character

And purify my thoughts

It is here You mold me and shape me

To become more and more like You

Thank You for showing me who You are


You already have a plan

For my life. This I know

So, why burden myself

With discovering the details?

I abandon every unanswered question

For the sake of knowing You more


Yes, I will stay here

In the pasture You have placed me

Tending the sheep

You have given me


When I hear You call

Then my head will arise

And I will follow the

Beckoning of Your voice


Until that day, Oh Lord

Here, Your servant will stay
