Freely Received, Freely Given

All content on Sheph3rdless—including the songs, lyrics, devotions, and audio recordings—is offered completely free of charge, inspired by the words of Jesus in Matthew 10:8:"Freely you have received; freely give."

This project is part of my ministry, and the only way I'm able to keep creating, recording, and sharing these songs is through the support of people like you who choose to follow along. Your partnership helps cover the time, tools, and resources needed to keep this going and growing.

You are welcome to use anything on this site for:

  • Personal worship and devotion
  • Family or small group gatherings
  • Church services, youth groups, or ministries (sing them, play them, project the lyrics—go for it)
  • Sharing with friends, on social media, or in your own creative projects

No permission needed. No fees. No royalties.

The only things we ask:

  • Please don't sell the songs, recordings, or lyrics (no streaming monetization, no selling covers or sheet music based on these arrangements).
  • If you share or perform them publicly, a simple credit like "from Sheph3rdless" or a link back to the site would be appreciated (but not required).
  • Keep the spirit of the project intact—use it to point people to God.

Everything here is given freely because that's how it was received. If these songs help you feel a little less shepherdless in the valley, that's more than enough.

You're still my Shepherd

🖤
