You're the shepherd of my heart so treat it tenderly It's a heart that needs your everloving care You're the shepherd of my heart until eternity Lead it not into the valley of despair While it's in your keeping guard it with your love Shelter it from harm along life's way You're the shepherd of my heart and darling honestly It's a heart that will not ever go astray You're the shepherd of my heart so surely you must know You have but to speak and my heart will obey It's at your command my dear because it loves you so So my darling shepherd guide it where you may If it be green pastures or a rocky road it will follow you and not ask why You're the shepherd of my heart until the trumpet blows And I go to meet the shepherd in the sky
