When love is my shepherd, He leads me down, To where troubled water Sprung up from the ground I found the answer Now it seems so clear When I see your face I can't help but trace That love is my shepherd When you are here I've lived in the darkness I've been thru the mill, I craved the attention The choked on the thrill. I found the answer I saw it in your eyes So sweet the surprise Now I can see That love is my shepherd Now you're here with me Today new horizons Are filled with a joy, Towards them I travel With hope to employ And I've been seduced By failure and pride But love is the answer inside My future looks faithful My prayers have been heard And love is the reason I carry the word The word is excitement This feeling is great I carry that weight Now I'm set free Love is my shepherd Now you're here with me
