The Song: "In Pleasant Places"

This is the song that inspired the title to this devotional blog.  No matter what our place or circumstance when we are in His presence all places are pleasant places.


IN PLEASANT PLACES
by John Peterson

Chorus
In pleasant places Jesus leads me, 
Like a shepherd so gentle and kind; 
In pleasant places by still waters, 
O what pleasure and blessing I find. 

Sweet it is to follow the Savior, 
Sweet to have Him close by my side; 
Carefully the pathway He chooses, 
He is such a wonderful guide, 

Even when the storm clouds are threat'ning, 
There's no need to worry or fear; 
Jesus wil be there to protect me, 
When I call for help He will hear. 

Now my life indeed is worth living, 
Christ has made the diff'rence for me; 
There's a joy, a glory, a wonder, 
Ev'ry day His goodness I see. 

Some day He will take me to heaven, 
Safely I'll be led by His hand; 
Pleasant are the places awaiting 
There within that beautiful land. 

Chorus 
In pleasant places Jesus leads me, 
Like a shepherd so gentle and kind; 
In pleasant places by still waters, 
O what pleasure and blessing I find.
