In anticipation of tomorrow's gospel
When I find myself alone,
when I need someone to talk to,
someone who really listens,
remind me then, O Lord:
you're my shepherd,
you're my friend...
When I want someone to lead me,
to guide me on the right path
toward serenity and peace:
remind me then, O Lord:
you're my shepherd,
you're my friend...
When the silence is too much,
when I need to hear another's voice,
to hear a lover's song,
remind me then, O Lord:
you're my shepherd,
you're my friend...
When it seems there's no one at my side,
when I need someone who has my back,
who'll stand by me through thick and thin,
remind me then, O Lord:
you're my shepherd,
you're my friend...
When I'm frightened of what's yet to be
and worried I don't have the strength
to face whatever lies ahead,
remind me then, O Lord:
you're my shepherd,
you're my friend...
Like a shepherd, protect me while I'm awake
as well as when I'm asleep, Lord,
that awake I might keep the watch with you
and asleep, rest safe in your peace...
Amen.

Because the Lord is my shepherd,
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in the meadow
And leads me to quiet streams.
He restores my soul
And he leads me in the paths that are right...
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in the meadow
And leads me to quiet streams.
He restores my soul
And he leads me in the paths that are right...
Lord,
You are my shepherd,
You are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
Just to follow my friend.
You are my shepherd,
You are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
Just to follow my friend.
And when the road leads to darkness,
I shall walk there unafraid.
Even when death is close I have courage,
For your help is there.
You are close beside me with comfort,
You are guiding my way...
I shall walk there unafraid.
Even when death is close I have courage,
For your help is there.
You are close beside me with comfort,
You are guiding my way...
In love you make me a banquet
For my enemies to see.
You make me welcome,
Pouring down honor from your mighty hand;
And this joy fills me with gladness,
It is too much to bear...
For my enemies to see.
You make me welcome,
Pouring down honor from your mighty hand;
And this joy fills me with gladness,
It is too much to bear...
Your goodness always is with me
And your mercy I know.
Your loving kindness strengthens me always
As I go through life.
I shall dwell in your presence forever,
Giving praise to your name...
And your mercy I know.
Your loving kindness strengthens me always
As I go through life.
I shall dwell in your presence forever,
Giving praise to your name...
