Lyrics
SHEPHERD
The Lord is my shepherd
theres nothing I shall lack
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He revives my soul
He directs me in the paths of righteousness
for the sake of His name
The Lord is my shepherd
my cup is full
only goodness shall follow
all the days of my life
he anointed my heart with love
He revives my soul
He directs me in the paths of righteousness
for the sake of His name
AND EVEN IF I WALK
IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
NO EVIL WILL I FEAR
FOR YOU ARE WITH ME
YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF
THEY WILL COMFORT ME
Your rod and Your staff they will comfort me
He leads me beside still watres
The Lord is my my shepherd
The Lord is my my shepherd
and He is with me
