My Twenty Third Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want
He supplies every need so well.
I lie down in green pastures and walk by still waters
What a testimony I have to tell.

He restores my soul, But  for His righteousness and leading
I know I'd surely fall.
Even walking in the shadow of death
Upon His precious name I can call.

I fear no evil with Him by my side
His rod and staff comfort me.
When I'm surrounded by Satan's foes
In His name, they have to flee.

He prepares me a table in front of my enemies
He anoints my head with oil.
When my cup runs over, I can rest
From all the days of troubles and toil.

Surely goodness and mercy does follow me
Every day of my life.
One day I'll dwell in His house forever
Where there's no more heartaches or strife.
