My Shepard
With carelessness I depart,

	I stray into the dark void.

My demise, they begin to chart.

	Not stopping till I am destroyed.



They know my fears

	And weaknesses, yes.

But I trust the One who steers.

	My Shepard, to whom I confess.



He leaves the rest

	And searches me out.

From him I am blessed,

	I have no doubt.



I want to leave these lands.

	I beg him to forgive my ways.

He lifts me in his hands

	And gives me a loving gaze.



To my Shepard, my life I give,

And for my Shepard, my life I live.
