The Shepherd’s Hand

Written by Mark Mathes

The Shepherd’s Hand

Mark S. Mathes, Chris White Music, BMI

Verse 1:

If He would leave the ninety-nine
And rescue one lost sheep
Then He would do the same for one
Who’s soul is sinking deep
He would walk on water,
Go farther than you planned
I know for I’ve felt the Shepherd’s hand

Chorus:

Jesus is a Rescuer
For those who’ve gone astray
Jesus is the Way maker
when there seems to be no way
He’d walk a hill; His Fathers’ will,
Bear scars for every man
I know for I’ve felt the Shepherd’s hand

Verse 2:

My friend if your discouraged and
you fear the morning light
If pain has gripped your mortal soul
And nothing seems just right
There is peace and comfort
And strength to help you stand
I know for I’ve felt the Shepherd’s hand
