MY SHEPHERD LORD

My shepherd Lord, he is my soul restoring,
I know good care, of me he’ll always take
And so with him, I surely shall lack nothing
He leads me for his own name’s sake

He gives me rest, and offers hope eternal
He is my rock – and he’s my fortress too
And though sometimes I walk in vales of darkness
I know that he will bring me through

If you’re for me, who can be against me?
If you’re with me, I will fear no ill
You have promised never to forsake me
So I know you never will

He is the one on whom my eyes I’m fixing
For on the cross, it was my place he took
He is my Lord and he’s my Saviour also
And so to him I’ll always look

If you’re for me, who can be against me
If you’re with me, I will fear no ill
You have promised never to forsake me
So I know you never will

Jesus is Lord, and at his name I’m bowing
He is the one I gladly now confess
The King of glory – worthy of all worship
For now he is my righteousness

If you’re for me, who can be against me?
If you’re with me, I will fear no ill
You have promised never to forsake me
So I know you never will

Now I know that, one day I will see him
Only because of his amazing grace
And so I’ll dwell forever in his household
Where for me he’s prepared a place

If you’re for me, who can be against me?
If you’re with me, I will fear no ill
You have promised never to forsake me
So I know you never will

Nothing particularly interesting to say about myself other than after 27 years working as a GP, I was delighted, at the start of December 2023, to start work as the South West Regional Representative of the Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). You can read about what they do at sga.org.uk. I am also an avid Somerset County Cricket Club supporter and a poor example of a Christian who likes to put finger to keyboard from time to time and who is foolish enough to think that someone out there might be interested enough to read what I've written. Some of these blogs have grown over time and some portions of earlier blogs reappear in slightly different forms in later blogs. I apologise for the repetition. If you are involved in a church in the southwest of England and would like to hear more of SGA’s work, do get in touch. I’d love to come and talk a little, or even a lot, about what they get up to!.
