Lyrics - Psalm 23 (Gospel Song Version)
“Verse 1
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
He makes me lie down where the green fields flow.
He restores my soul when the nights get long,
And He leads me on where His mercies go.
Though shadows fall and the valley’s deep,
I will trust His hand as He watches me.
No fear can stand when His love is near—
For my Shepherd’s here, my Shepherd’s here!
Chorus
Oh, the Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid!
Goodness and mercy follow me all my days.
He walks beside me, He lights my way—
The Lord is my Shepherd, I’m covered by His grace!
Verse 2
He prepares a table in the presence of my foes,
And He pours the oil till my cup overflows.
Surely goodness follows everywhere I go,
And His house forever will be my home.
Even in the fire, even through the tears,
He is my comforter, calming every fear.
When the battle rises and the night is long,
Still I’ll lift my voice—He’s my victory song!
Chorus
Oh, the Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid!
Goodness and mercy follow me all my days.
He walks beside me, He lights my way—
The Lord is my Shepherd, I’m covered by His grace!
Bridge (Slow build – choir behind)
You lead me… (You lead me!)
You keep me… (You keep me!)
Your rod and Your staff,
They comfort me… (They comfort me!)
I’m never alone… (Never alone!)
You call me Your own… (Call me Your own!)
And I will dwell in Your presence forevermore…
