Story Behind the Song
Life kicks your butt but no matter what, God is watching over you.
Lyrics
Refrain
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death.
Verse 1
Sad and lonely, life in this jungle aint easy, The wild dogs, theyre nippin at my heels.
The cold breath of vipers, at the back of my neck, And the taxman, he wants money, he wont take no, he wont take no.
Refrain
Verse 2
A woman may leave you, your money may burn,
And your friends, just like Job theyll say “Curse God and Die.”
Wherever you turn, wherever you go they want you to know That youve been deserted, you’re worthless, but you know that cant be right.
Refrain
Verse 3
A new day is dawning, the hour has come,
My deliverer, he is smiling, he is calling out my name.
I will lay in green pastures, the lion and lamb will be near me, they wont fear me.
We will all be reclaimed in His Holy Name.
Closing Medley/Jam
“Na na na na na. . . . I shall rejoice, I shall rejoice in the name of the Lord.”
“Ring around the rosy”
“Jesus loves me yes I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
