Psalm 23: An Interpretation
©️2013, Vagrants Chapel Music, BMI
Lyrics, Drexel Rayford; Music, Mike Pittman
You are my shepherd
My life will never know unsettled want.
You will lead me to rest in fields of green.
You will lead me to meditate beside the quiet streams,
You will restore me, Lord,
So my soul will live your dreams.
You are my shepherd.
You will guide me to walk a fearless path.
Though the threat of death may cast a shadow stark,
Though I feel alone as walking through a valley deep and dark,
You will protect me, Lord,
In your all embracing love.
You are my shepherd.
Though my adversaries circle me around,
You prepare a feast of plenty for my life.
You anoint my head with fragrance, and goodness fills my breath,
Your love will hold me, Lord,
All the days you give me life!
