Verse 1 O good shepherd, would you teach me how to rest I’m rushing on, will you make me to lie down Will you build a fold by the waters that refresh Will you call my name and lead me safely out?
Verse 2 From my anxious drive to labor on and on From the restless grind that has put my mind to sleep
Pre-Chorus Will you call me back and gently slow me down Will you show me now what to lose and what to keep
Chorus O Good Shepherd, O Good friend slow me down. O Good Shepherd, O Good friend slow me down.
Verse 3 When my table’s bent with only greed and gold And my grasping hands are afraid you won’t provide
Pre-Chorus Will you pour the wine that loosens up my hold Set your table here with what truly satisfies
Chorus O Good Shepherd, O Good friend slow me down. O Good Shepherd, O Good friend slow me down.
Verse 4 On the busy streets trying to make myself a name If the work is yours, there is nothing I can claim Will you lead home to the pastures of your peace The house is yours, I’m sitting at your feet
Chorus O Good Shepherd, O Good friend slow me down. O Good Shepherd, O Good friend slow me down.
