You´re the shepherd of my heart so treat it tenderly
It´s a heart that needs your ever loving care
You´re the shepherd of my heart until eternity lead it not into the valley of despair

While it´s in your keeping guard it with your love
Shelter it from harm along life´s way
You´re the shepherd of my heart and darling honestly
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
