"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Psalm 23:1-3 KJV

As a lamb I follow my Shepherd

Though at times the way seems hard

I am safe within His watch care

As I rest He standeth guard

When my soul doeth hunger strongly

For the filling bread of life

He is there to lead me onward

To a place that's free of strife

Where the still waters soothe and comfort

The thirsting soul who there partakes

And the pastures green and peaceful

Lie beneath the mountains near the lakes

Rest and comfort for the weary

Peace and joy there to the fill

Can be found within His presence

Where the soul is calm and still

Never fearing storms around me

Unless I wander from the fold

For I know He's ever near me

And my Shepherd is strong and bold

It is Him that gives me guidance

It is Him who meets my needs

I'm afraid to walk without Him

I can't find the way unless He leads

When I'm near Him I feel such comfort

And I know everything will be alright

For He is my strong defender

He's my guardian, He's my light

With my Shepherd ever near me

I can calmly walk along

Facing life, simply trusting

For I know He does no wrong
