He set me apart from my mother’s womb.
Verse 1
He set me apart from my mother’s womb. He prepared my heart to receive His word. He came to me in love as the Bridegroom. He spoke to me—His lovely voice I heard. Though I was far off in darkness, He caused me to turn by His kindness; A lost son of disobedience Was led to repentance By the riches of God’s kindness!
Chorus
God has shepherded me All my life to this very day. The Lord is my Shepherd. All my life I have lacked nothing.
Verse 2
He preserved me and arranged my daily walk. He patiently works to transform my soul. He brought me to the church, the one true flock Here we enjoy Him and His name extol. Though there were times in the valleys, I did not fear for He was with me. He used every joy and distress To conform and to bless, Looking back now I can confess…
Chorus
God has shepherded me All my life to this very day. The Lord is my Shepherd. All my life I have lacked nothing.
Verse 3

There is not much time remaining. While I have breath He’s sustaining. As I follow Him and don’t stray, Then I know in that day By His mercy I will still say…
Chorus
God has shepherded me All my life to this very day. The Lord is my Shepherd. All my life I have lacked nothing.
