David sang that God looks after us like a good shepherd.
David wrote a song. Long ago he looked after sheep on grassy hills, and he knew how a good shepherd cares.
The song follows a child and a lamb through one day, with a shepherd beside them.
They find a green meadow, still water, a path, a dim valley with a lantern, a big table and a cozy home.
David sang that God looks after us like a good shepherd. God gives us all we need, and is near, so we need not be afraid.

Remember the song and say thank you. When we feel worried, we can remember the song and say thank you.
With a grown-up, thank God at bedtime for looking after you like a shepherd.
Tell the day slowly at bedtime, one place at a time, and let your child say what comes next. The words are David's song, so keep it gentle and add no more than the story says.
