Shepherd’s Staff

[Verse 1 – Sadness] When my heart is full of sorrow And the tears fall every night Jesus gently holds me closer And He fills my soul with light “No more crying, no more pain now” Heaven’s promise gives me peace In His arms I find my comfort And my sadness starts to leave --- [Verse 2 – Fear] Even when the road is darkened Even through the valley deep I will never walk in terror For my Shepherd walks with me His strong staff will guide and guard me I am safe within His care Though the shadows stand around me I will trust because He’s there --- [Verse 3 – Anxiety] When my mind is filled with worries And my thoughts are running wild Jesus brings a perfect stillness Like a Father calms His child When I keep my eyes on Jesus And my heart learns how to trust Peace begins to flow within me And my fear turns into rest --- [Verse 4 – Depression] Why so downcast, O my spirit? Why are you so filled with pain? Put your hope again in Jesus He will lift your soul again Though the night feels long and heavy Morning light will surely rise God is near the brokenhearted And He hears your silent cries --- [Verse 5 – Worry] Do not worry about tomorrow Bring your prayers before the King Every burden, every struggle Lay them down beneath His wings Then His peace beyond all knowledge Will protect your heart and mind In the middle of the chaos Perfect peace in Christ you’ll find --- [Verse 6 – Loneliness] When I feel completely lonely Like nobody understands Still my Jesus walks beside me Holding tightly to my hand He is strength when I am weak now He is all I truly need Even when my heart is failing Jesus stays and comforts me --- [Verse 7 – Insomnia] In the silence of the midnight When my eyes refuse to close Jesus whispers peace so softly And my restless spirit slows I will lie in perfect safety For the Lord is watching near He protects me while I’m sleeping And His presence calms my fear --- [Verse 8 – Lack of Love] On the cross He chose to suffer Just to show His love for me Every wound and every sorrow Bought my heart its liberty Now His love is overflowing Grace and mercy freely flow Jesus fills the empty places With a love the world can’t show --- [Final Chorus] Jesus heals the hurting hearts now Jesus calms the storms inside In the sadness and the darkness He will never leave our side Every fear and every burden Every lonely broken place Can be healed by love eternal Found in Jesus’ endless grace
