A#                                            D#
You're the shepherd of my heart, so treat it tenderly
       A#                                 F7
It's a heart that needs your ever loving care
            A#                           D#
You're the shepherd of my heart, until eternity
         F7                       A#
Lead it not into the valley of despair

 D#
While it's in your keeping, guard it with your love
 A#                               F7
Shelter it from harm along life's way
             A#                              D#
You're the shepherd of my heart and darling honestly
        F7                            A#
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
