I was 14 when I was first introduced to the music of Keith Green. My first album of his was called "Songs of the Shepherd" and the picture on the front was Keith holding a lamb around his shoulders. I listened to this album over and over and was so touched by the words and music that I bought the songbook and spent months learning how to play it.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
And guides my path in righteousness
For His name’s sake
Surely goodness and lovingkindness
Shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever and ever and ever
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will not fear, Thou art with me
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me in
The presence of my enemies
Surely goodness and lovingkindness
Shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever and ever and ever
Surely goodness and lovingkindness
Shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever and ever and ever
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
Scripture:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:1-6 CSV
