The Lord Is My Shepherd

 

The Lord is my Shepherd,

And I am His lamb,

Who loves me in spite

Of the way that I am.

Who sees something in me,

That other folks miss,

And I sometimes think maybe,

Because of this

I've never felt bitter,

Unloved or alone,

Though sometimes I grieve for

My loved ones now gone.

For I've always believed in

The words He has said,

That the spirit lives on,

Though the body be dead.

And I feel closer to Him,

Because of His care,

And I know when I call Him,

That He will be there.

So I fear not the shadows,

So dark and so dim,

For my Shepherd will carry me

Safely through them.

The Lord is

my shepherd,

I shall not want.

Ps. 23:1
