Based on Psalm 23

 I am a sheep and the Lord's my Shepherd,

Nothing shall I need.

To lush green pastures and cool streams

My belovèd Shepherd leads!

In paths of righteousness I take,

My soul He doth restore.

For His name's sake He does these things,

I cannot ask for more.

E'en though death may haunt my steps,

And the valley may be dark,

No evil shall I fear at all;

I'm in my Saviour's heart.

The Lord is with me all the days,

His promises are sure,

His rod and staff, they comfort me.

As long as life endures.

Enemies are all around,

But food You will provide.

Precious oil to anoint the head

Of Your chosen, perfect Bride!

How can I doubt Your promises?

In Your heart I am secure.

Goodness and mercy follow me,

And Your love always endures!
