I've been preaching from the Psalms over the past few weeks and sharing songs inspired by several of these Hebrew poems. When it came time to focus on Psalm 23, I decided to write a song which would reflect the joy and refreshment David wanted his hearers to experience as they heard his comforting psalm. I pray The Lord Is My Shepherd will bring your into God's loving and caring presence.

The Lord is My Shepherd

Verse 1:
The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing good.

I lie in green pastures; I drink from the brook.

My soul is refreshed, oh! My soul is refreshed, oh!

My soul is refreshed!

Verse 2:
The Lord is my shepherd; I follow his lead.

In darkest of valleys; I’ve nothing to dread.

My soul is refreshed, oh! My soul is refreshed, oh!

My soul is refreshed!

Verse 3:The Lord is my shepherd; His love follows me.

Each day in his presence; His goodness I see.

My soul is refreshed, oh! My soul is refreshed, oh!

My soul is refreshed!

Verse 4:
The Lord is my shepherd; My cup overflows.

Forever and ever; I’ll dwell in his home.

My soul will rejoice, oh! My soul will rejoice, oh!

My soul will rejoice!
