MY SHEPHERD

EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY

THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL

FOR YOU LORD ARE WITH ME

SURELY GOODNESS AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW

ALL MY DAYS, THE MY DAYS OF MY LIFE,

AND I WILL DWELL IN YOUR HOUSE LORD

FOREVER AND EVER

LORD YOU ARE MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT

YOU MAKE ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES,

LEADING ME BESIDE STILL WATERS

RESTORING MY SOUL

YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME

IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES

YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL

AND MY CUP OVERFLOWS

YOU GIVE ME DRINK

FROM YOUR FOUNTAIN, THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE

FOR YOUR LOVE REACHES THE HEAVENS

AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS THE SKIES

CHORUS

I WORSHIP YOU LORD,

IN ALL YOUR HOLINESS

FOR YOUR GREAT JUSTICE

I SING YOUR PRAISES

YOU SET ME HIGH UPON A ROCK

TO GAZE, TO GAZE ON YOUR BEAUTY

I DECLARE YOUR NAME

IN A CONGREGATION OF PRAISE

CHORUS 2X

I have the Lord (Jn 1:12), therefore I do not need the approval of men (Gal 1:10), and my circumstances do not matter for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Php 4:13).  

You provide the perfect environment for me to be at peace.  You make me lie down, be still and know that You are God (Ps 46:10), and feed me fresh manna from Your Word (Mt 4:4).  You quench my thirst with running water from Your Holy Spirit (Jn 7:38,39).  I do not fear shadows because they are not substance (Col 2:17).  Jesus, You defeated death (Heb 2:14,15), so I know, “absence from the body is present with the Lord (2 Co 5:8).”  You promise never to leave me or forsake me (Heb 13:5), so I have courage.  You meet all my needs (Php 4:19) and Your love chases after me (Ps 23:6 MSG). Thank You, Jesus.
