Jesus my Shepherd in tenderness came

lyricist: C. V.
Composer: C. V.

Jesus my Shepherd in tenderness came

Seeking my soul

one lost sheep to reclaim!

Laid down His life when He died on the tree

Now He’s the risen One living in me!

I am so glad that God dwells in me

The Triune God—now dwells in me!

Oh what a day

the Triune God came—

And now He lives in me!

Like a fine woman

He swept and He searched

For one lost coin which to Him had great worth;

When by His Spirit He shined on my sin

All night was scattered

and He entered in!

Once

lost in sin

from my Father I roamed

Yet deep within I still longed for a home;

But by His mercy this prodigal sees!

I was once dead

but now God lives in me!

Through the Son’s death

I have access to God

Through the sweet washing of His precious blood;

One Spirit now reconciled indeed

One with the Triune God

living in me!

What love divine that my God has made known

Sinners and the Triune God find a home!

What grace bestowed to the less than the least—

Oh

hallelujah! God’s living in me!
