Lyrics:

1. Like a shepherd I will feed you; I will gather you with care. I will lead you and hold you close to my heart.

Refrain : We will run and not grow weary, for our God will be our strength, and we will fly like the eagle, we will rise again.

2. I am strength to the weary; to the weak I am new life. Though the young may grow weary, I will be their hope.

3. Lift up your eyes, and see who made the stars. I lead you, and I know you, I call you each by name.

4. Fear not, I am with you; I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; uphold you with my hand.
