You Are My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd,
I have all that I need.
He leads me beside still waters,
To the place where my soul can breathe.
He guides me along the right path,
For the honour of His name.
And wherever the road may take me,
I know He will remain.
Though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid.
For I know that You are with me,
Every step along the way.
Your rod and staff are with me,
Your presence steadies my soul.
When the shadows gather around me,
You will never let me go.
You are my shepherd,
You lead me where I need to go.
Through quiet fields and valleys,
I will trust the One I know.
Your goodness and Your mercy,
Will follow all my days.
You are my shepherd,
And I will walk Your way.
You prepare a table before me,
With my enemies in sight.
You anoint my head with blessing,
And my cup is filled with life.
Surely goodness and mercy,
Will follow where I roam.
And I will dwell within Your house,
Forever I am home.
You are my shepherd,
You lead me where I need to go.
Through quiet fields and valleys,
I will trust the One I know.
Your goodness and Your mercy,
Will follow all my days.
You are my shepherd,
And I will walk Your way.
In the green fields, You are with me,
In the valley, You are near.
At the table, You sustain me,
With my Shepherd, I will not fear.
You are my shepherd,
You lead me where I need to go.
Through quiet fields and valleys,
I will trust the One I know.
Your goodness and Your mercy,
Will follow all my days.
You are my shepherd,
And in Your house I’ll stay.
ABOUT THIS SONG
Written and produced by Tasmanian songwriter Jason Bresnehan, You Are My Shepherd is a musical arrangement in the adult contemporary genre with a female vocal. Based on Psalm 23, the song is a contemporary expression of one of the most loved passages in Scripture, celebrating God's guidance, protection and faithful presence throughout every season of life. The song presents the image of Christ as the Good Shepherd who leads His people through both peaceful and difficult times.
The lyrics closely follow the themes and structure of Psalm 23. Beginning beside still waters and green pastures, the song moves through the valley of fear, arrives at the table of blessing and ultimately concludes in the eternal security of God's house. Rather than focusing on dramatic displays of faith, the song highlights the quiet confidence that comes from trusting God's leadership. The recurring image of the Shepherd reflects the central message of the Psalm: that God's people are never abandoned, whether they are experiencing abundance, hardship, uncertainty or restoration.
The artwork depicts a musician seated at a grand piano overlooking rolling hills filled with grazing sheep. The peaceful rural landscape immediately evokes the imagery of Psalm 23 and reinforces the song's central theme of God's pastoral care. The presence of the piano and vocalist connects worship with everyday life, suggesting that praise emerges naturally from a heart that has experienced the guidance and protection of the Good Shepherd. Together, the landscape, sheep and music create a visual expression of peace, trust and belonging.
This song forms part of the Worship II Collection by Seventh Ribbon Music.
