my song “Carry Me”

Here are the lyrics:

Carry Me (Music and Lyrics by David Hayward)

He tends his flock like a shepherd of love
He gathers lambs in his strong tender arms
He bears them close to his passionate heart
Gently and lovingly leads them along

He will protect me from all of my foes
He plants a place where his work safely grows
And I am assured that he reaps what he sows
And I will with fulness his love come to know

chorus:
Carry me through the valley and the sea
Carry me to the lofty mountain peaks
I long to be with you from now to the end
Carry me homeward my shepherding friend

Speak to me shepherd ’til I know your voice
Clear from my hearing the challenging noise
of all my distractions and counterfeit joys
for loving you fully is my perfect choice
