He Always Shepherds

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11).

Beneath Your watchful gaze, I rest content,
Your love enfolds me like the morning light.
Through valleys deep and mountains steep, You’ve sent
Your guidance as my path through day and night.

When tempests rage and shadows darken near,
I find my shelter in Your steadfast wings.
The world may tremble, yet I know no fear—
Your presence is the peace my spirit sings.

Shepherd of my soul, keeper of my heart,
Your perfect peace flows like a gentle stream.
Your truth sustains when trials tear apart,
Your comfort closer than my deepest dream.

My footsteps firm upon this rocky way,
My joy runs deeper than the ancient sea.
Your grace abounds through each uncertain day,
Overflowing from Your hand to me.

Through every trial that marks this mortal life,
You pour Your strength like sunlight from above.
A sacred power that conquers every strife,
Immeasurable depths of holy love.

In every land, through darkness and through light,
You walk beside me, never leaving me.
My heart rejoices in Your matchless might,
In bonds of grace that set the captive free.

The translation of the lyric into English:
He Always Shepherds

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11).

O Lord Jesus, my heart is content,
For I am dearly loved by You.
You’ve led and shepherded me day by day,
My soul still overflows with grace
That comes from You.

O Lord Jesus, my heart stands firm,
Though storms and trials surround my path,
I find my peace beneath Your wings,
In this world of hardship
And dangers near.

He always shepherds,
The Lord keeps me in perfect peace.
He always comforts, speaks His truth,
Never leaves my side.
He always leads me,
My steps shall not be moved in this world.
My heart is ever filled with joy,
Overflowing with His grace.

He always shepherds,
Through every trial of my life.
He always pours down sacred strength,
More than I can hold.
He is always with me,
The Lord walks with me through all lands.
My heart is ever filled with joy.
