Like A Lamb Who Needs
the Shepherd
Words and music:
Ralph Carmichael, 1952
Where He leads me I must follow
Without Him I'd lose my way
I will see a bright tomorrow
If I follow Him today
Like a lamb who needs the Shepherd
At His side I'll always stay
Through the night His strength I'll borrow
Then I'll see another day
Life is like a winding pathway
Who can tell what lies ahead?
Will it lead to shady pastures,
Or to wilderness instead?
Like a lamb who needs the Shepherd
When into the night I go
Help me find the path that's narrow
While I travel here below
Though you walk through darkest valleys
And the sky is cold and gray
Though you climb the steepest mountains
He will never let you stray
Like a lamb who needs the Shepherd
By your side He'll always stay
'Til the end of life's long journey
He will lead you all the way
