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
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 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
Will you pour the wine that loosens up my hold
Set your table here with what truly satisfies
Bridge
On the busy streets trying to make myself a name
If the work is yours there is nothing I can claim
Will you home to the pastures of your peace
The house is yours i’m sitting at your feet
