I was thinking of Psalm 23 when writing this song. It came together quickly, and the more I worked on it, the more excited I became of the story it was telling. To me this is a very moving song, expecially the line where "God died for his sheep."
Wow, what a God we have!

"My Shepherd" by KunzyPoet
[VERSE]
The night is dark I hear wolves howl
I'm frightened and crying
Trembling at the fearful sound
Behind a cloud hides the moon
I am scared I don't know how I will escape
I am afraid
I don't know what to do
[VERSE]
But then I hear a caring voice
My shepherd is prepared
He looks towards the howling noise
He grabs his staff and stands his ground
I know he's made the choice, he'd sacrifice
To save my life
I'll now sleep safe and sound
[CHORUS]
Why do I fear
I'm not alone
For my shepherd guides me home
He's always near
On my life's road
Through death's dark valley I always know
He'd leave the ninety nine
To bring me safely home
[VERSE]
The lamb of God is my shepherd
He leads me and feeds me
And makes me lie down to rest
He knows that I am weak
And how frequently I stress about my fears
But my shepherd's here
And he will carry me
[CHORUS]
Why do I fear
I'm not alone
For my shepherd guides me home
He's always near
On my life's road
Through death's dark valley I always know
He'd leave the ninety nine
To bring me safely home
[BRIDGE]
If I wander from the flock
And then discover I am lost
My shepherd will search for me
And not give up until he sees
Me home again though it did cost
My shepherd is the lamb of God
Upon the cross he died for me
My God died for his sheep
[CHORUS]
Why do I fear
I'm not alone
For my shepherd guides me home
He's always near
On my life's road
Through death's dark valley I always know
He'd leave the ninety nine
To bring me safely home
[CHORUS]
Why do I fear
I'm not alone
For my shepherd guides me home
He's always near
On my life's road
Through death's dark valley I always know
He'd leave the ninety nine
To bring me safely home
