I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me John 10:14
You Are the Shepherd
Chorus
You are the Shepherd, I belong to you
When I walk on rough ground, you will guide me through
You know my name, you know my voice
Before I was born I was your choice
Show me how to follow, Lord keep me close to you
You are the Shepherd, I belong to you
Repeat as soloist
Choir
Open eyes, to see you are the way
Open ears to hear you are the truth
Open hearts to know you are the Lord of life
For every land you hold a special plan
Soloist
Show me how to follow, Lord keep me close to you
You are the shepherd, I belong to you
Choir
Show me how to follow, Lord keep me close to you
You are the Shepherd, I belong to you.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. John 10:14-16
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:3-14

Hello Soma,
I googled and found the original lyrics by Keith Getty.
God bless and Shalom

Hi,
The author appears to be Keith Getty. It is a simple song yet so powerful with overview of the great truth about the Lord Jesus Christ as the Great and Good Shepherd.
As for the lyrics, these are the best I can make from listening to the song. I don’t have the original to check if it is exactly faithful to the original.
Does it make sense ? Of course. WHEN eyes, ears and hearts are OPENED by God’s Holy Spirit through His free and sovereign grace so that a non-believer is GIVEN faith to see that the Lord Jesus Christ is THE Way, Truth and the Life.
If you do manage to find the original lyrics, please let me know. Thanks.
Shalom

Can someone tell me who is the author of this song please? it is a beautiful song about the Lord as our shepherd.
I also want to know if the words in the second stanza are right. The first three lines don’t make sense to me. Oh when eyes ? is it Oh for eyes?
