This was one of my primary’s favorite songs for the New Testament in 2023 and sang it for our Primary ProgramI It’s not well known, but it should be! Soft and gentle, even your tiniest kids will be singing this piece in no time.

Jesus is My Shepherd Scarf Actions
This song lends itself SO well to scarf actions. Because we used these actions first when learning the song, the kids kept doing these actions whenever we would bring it back.
- Jesus is my Shepherd(scarf over your head)
- I’m His precious lamb (cradle the scarf in your arms)
- Tenderly He Guides Me (hold both ends of scarf tight in front of your body, move it like one hand is a dog, other hand is owner guiding a leash)
- With His Gentle Hand (wrap scarf around your hand)
- Calm are waters where He leads (make waves with scarf)
- Green are pastures where He feeds me (sweep the ground with scarf)
- Jesus is my Shepherd (Scarf over head)
- He loves me (Hug scarf to your chest)
