verse 1
G C
Some days the trail I follow grows too narrow and too dense
G C
And I can’t always walk along the top rail of the fence

There are times I can’t move forward, times I can’t back out
G F C G
There are times I can’t fly high, beyond a shadow of a doubt

C
Stubbornly, I struggle on, not knowing what’s ahead

With the tangle still around me when at night I find my bed
G C
I toss and turn, and turn and toss, and hold my pillow tight
G F C G
Oh, it’s then I go a-walking, I go walking late at night
C G
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still
Em C G C
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill
G Bm C G
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss
Em D G C G C
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross
verse 3

The good shepherd whispers secrets in my ear

Like a breeze, holy secrets, only I can hear

When the morning sun comes softly, I’ll be in my own hard bed

But his gentle voice will linger in my soul and in my head
verse 4

And I’ll rush into the new day, like a penny candy store
