The Lord Is My Shepherd

I SHALL NOT WANT

                    He Makes me to lie down in green pastures,
                    He leads me beside still waters, He restores
                    My soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness
                    For His name’s sake. Even though I walk through
                    The valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
                    For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, 
                                    They comfort me. 
                                    You prepare a table 
                                    before me in the presence
                                    of my enemies; You anoint
                                    My head with oil, my cup
                                    Runs over. Surely goodness
                                    And mercy shall follow me
                                    All the days of my life, and
                                    I will dwell in the house of 
                                    The LORD forever.
