There are many names and titles for Jesus in the Bible. This song is a meditation on three of them: Saviour, Shepherd, King. In each verse we pray that Jesus will be a faithful Shepherd, Saviour and King to us, and that we would respond in faith and obedience. Some key biblical references/allusions include Romans 5:6-9, Mark 5:41, Psalm 23, John 10, Romans 1:5, John 8:44.
lyrics
Jesus, Saviour, be for me
My strength, my sure defence;
May your blood forever be
My only righteousness.
Helpless, hopeless, bound by sin
Until you set me free;
Took my hand and raised me up
From death to life and peace!
Oh Jesus!
You’re the lover of my soul.
Oh Jesus!
Jesus be my all in all.
Jesus, Shepherd, be for me
My help, my way, my guide;
May your word forever lead
To springs of endless life.
Faint and weary, lost and blind
Without your guiding hand;
You are mighty, good and kind
Secure with You I stand.
Oh Jesus!
You’re the lover of my soul.
Oh Jesus!
Jesus be my all in all.
Jesus, master, be for me
My King, my lord of all!
May my footsteps ever be
Obedient to your call.
Sure to follow Satan's lies
Without your loving rule.
May your word forever bind
My thankful heart to you!
Oh Jesus!
You’re the lover of my soul.
Oh Jesus!
Jesus be my all in all.

Our vision is to write songs from the Word, to the heart and for the church, so that God's people might “come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him” (Psalm 95).
