Story Behind the Song
Psalm 23 is well known. My favorite line today is “He restoreth my soul” I love
God for that. Through Jesus I can approach God with all my sin and be received and
restored. And I love Jesus for preparing that way for me.
Lyrics
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD (PSALM 23) - Lyrics
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want
He maketh me lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters,
He restoreth my soul
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness,
For His name’s sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow,
Of death, I will fear no evil
For thou art with me, they rod and thy staff,
They comfort me
They comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of my enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil,
My cup runneth over
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord,
In the house of the Lord forever
The Lord is my shepherd, The Lord is my shepherd
"The Lord Is My Shepherd"
