about

I wrote this song many years ago as I was reflecting on Psalm 23. The song was originally written on the acoustic guitar and I performed it a number of times with my band Balaam's Donkey, but we never released it apart from a simple acoustic duo EP.

Now the song is reimagined in a style for a new generation. I hope it brings joy and hope to everyone who hears it.

lyrics

The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the quiet waters
He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness
For His name's sake

And though I walk
Through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For You are with me Lord
And though I walk
Through the valley of the shadow of death
Your rod and Your staff
They comfort me

You set me a table
Before my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
(And my cup overflows)
Surely goodness and love
Will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell
In the house of the Lord
Forever
Forever

Surely Your goodness and love
Will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell
In Your house O Lord
Forever
Forever

Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
