“Shepherd of My Soul” by Joy Joshua Babuje
This is one of those rare songs that really speaks to me. Every time I listen to it or sing along, I feel a deep sense of peace and comfort knowing that God is with me. The lyrics may be simple, but they hold powerful truths that uplift me spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.
The first line, “The Lord is my Shepherd,” always reminds me of Psalm 23, which has always been a source of comfort for me. In this busy world filled with fear and uncertainty, the song reassures me that I’m never alone. It reminds me that I have a caring God who is always looking out for me, guiding me, and providing for my needs. This truth calms my anxious heart and strengthens my faith.
When I hear the line, “There is nothing I shall want,” I’m reminded to focus on what I have rather than what I lack. This isn’t just about material things, but about peace, love, and spiritual support. It reassures me that God understands what I need and is always ahead of me, preparing things in my life. Whenever I face challenges or feel down, this song reminds me that my Shepherd is in control and I won’t truly lack anything as long as I trust Him.
The phrase “I know He'll never leave nor forsake me” speaks to one of our biggest fears, being left alone. These words connect to God’s promise in Hebrews 13:5, and each time I sing them, I can feel His comforting embrace. It brings me peace to know that no matter what happens, God is always there. His faithfulness never changes, and my life is safe in His hands.
The chorus, “Oh Shepherd of my soul, You lead me and I trust You,” has become a daily reminder for me. It encourages me to let go of my worries and decisions, reminding me that I don't have to figure everything out myself. When I trust Him, He guides me on the right path, even when I can't see where it leads.
In short, “Shepherd of My Soul” is a song that really resonates with my spiritual needs. It brings me closer to God, builds my trust in Him, and gives me peace in His promises. It’s not just a song I enjoy; it’s something that nourishes my soul and lifts me up every time I hear it.
