R.:
The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing more I need,
He leads me to calm waters, where I may rest, where I may feed.
The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing more I need,
He leads me to calm waters, where I may rest, where I may feed.
Fresh and green are the pastures there, my soul is secure in His loving care.
R.
When evil surrounds me in the darkness of the night,
You wrap me in your steadfast arms and You lead me to the light,
And I shall follow You where You lead, by Your rod and Your staff from fear I’m freed.
R.
My cup runs abundant; You annoint my worried brow.
Your goodness and Your mercy are ever with me even now.
And I shall live in Your house always, to the end of the end of all days!
The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing more I need,
His goodness and His mercy will ever be with me indeed!
