Like A Shepherd by Bob Dufford, SJ

Chorus
Like a shepherd he feeds his flock, and gathers the lambs in his arms. Holding them carefully, close to his heart, leading them home
Vs 1
Say to the cities of Judah, prepare the way of the Lord. Go to the mountaintop, lift your voice. Jerusalem here is your God
Vs 2
I myself will shepherd them, for others have led them astray. The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds, and pasture them giving them rest
Vs 3
Come unto me, if you are heavily burdened, and take my yolk upon your shoulders. I will give you rest
Text based on Isaiah 40:9ff; Ezekiel 34:11ff; Matthew 11:28ff. Text and music copyright 1976, Robert J Dufford, SJ, and OCP. All rights reserved.

Most beautiful song. Made to tear up because you sang it perfectly with feelings. Thank you

I listen to this song(lower sound)while in my night prayer and at bedtime.

I taught my niece to sing this song when she was little. She is not gifted that way, but she desperately wanted to learn to sing. Now she is almost 30 and a medical practitioner. Today on the TV Mass, this was used and I just had to find it so I could send it to her. I use your site all the time to learn responses for church, but this is the first time I heard you play the guitar. This is absolutely beautiful. I am so proud to send this to her.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

That is so wonderful to hear. God bless you and your niece......my wife is a hospice nurse. So thankful for the people who help others in that way.

[@michellemayer8686]

I have MS, and she decided at a young age that her path was to help her aunt get better. I couldn’t be prouder. I appreciate hearing that your wife is fighting the good fight, God bless you both.
