Beneath the Shepherd’s Care
From green pastures to deep valleys, from overflowing tables to the darkest shadows, Psalm 23 reminds us that the one constant in every landscape of life is the presence of the Shepherd.
This original song grew out of the Scattered Moments Psalms Reflection on Psalm 23. It is a meditation on what it means to be held, provided for, protected, pursued by goodness and grace, and led by Someone who already knows the way home.
There are seasons when we clearly recognize the Shepherd’s hand—and others when we are almost completely unaware of it. Yet His care remains.
I trust His footsteps leading me
Until the lights of home I see.
Take a few quiet minutes. Listen. Rest. And remember: wherever you are on the journey, you are still beneath the Shepherd’s care.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” — Psalm 23:6
From green pastures to valleys deep. From tables plenty to shadows pleat I am held provided kept far beyond the tears I've wept Through quiet fields and troubled air I live beneath the shepherd's care, surely grace follow me through every place when I wander, when I fear. Still the shepherd draws me near through every shadow, every prayer. I'm living in the shepherd's care. I live beneath the shepherd's care. Although I'm often unaware when I cannot see his face, I am a captive of his grace, his rod protects, his staff assures, his faithful love forever endure. Surely goodness, surely grace. Follow me through every place when I want when I fear, still the shepherd draws me near through every shadow, every prayer living in the shepherd's care. I'm protected all the while, even when the road is still the shepherd never leaves his sheep, I trust his footsteps leading me beyond the things I cannot see. And when the valley darkens, and night surrounds the way, I will fear no evil, for you will never stray. Your goodness goes behind me, your presence goes before, and every step is leading closer to your door. Surely goodness, surely grace follow me through every place, through every valley, every tear. I know my shepherd will be near, and when my earthly journeys through I'll finally see what grace can do. I trust his footsteps leading me until the lights of home I see and therefore I will stay in the
