The Valley

Going through the valley of the shadow of death
Is such a concern that I'm just holding my breath
Yet, I can see that there's plenty of grass to eat
But high to the rocky mountains I won't retreat
Because right here the Lord has prepared me a feast
And He's here so I won't be afraid of the beast

And way up high in safety there's nothing to eat
So I will thumb my nose at the devil I meet
Because God is here and He's prepared me a feast
In the midst of my enemies my faith's increased
I'm not looking at the predators all around
I'm looking at Jesus Christ in whom life is found

The Lord is my shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd, I don't lack anything
I can gladly lie down in the grass safe and filled

he leads me to water that's quiet and refreshing
he gives me my life back and helps me to rebuild

He kindly guides and leads me along the right track

your name receives honor with my ev-e-ry breath
whether coming or going I constantly walk
through the valley of darkness, the shadow of death

I will fear no evil, for you are close by me
the correction and protection I have from your rod
and your staff which guided and saved and set me free
those tools of the shepherd have been comfort from God

You set a table before me and make a spread
in the presence of my enemies round about
You honor and cleanse me by anointing my head
my cup of blessing is over full and flows out

Surely goodness and mercy will be my award
all the days of my life, they will be mine galore
I will live all my days in the house of the Lord
for length of days, forever and forever more
