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
