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
