The Shepherd's Path

Wolves in the shadows, my Shepherd got the crook,

Guides me through the valley where the villains overlook.

Green pastures stretch wide, my soul finds rest,

By still waters flowin', He calms my chest.

I’m lackin’ nothin’, cup overflowin’ with grace,

Enemies at the table, but peace on my plate.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I fear no fight,

Walkin' through the dark, He brings the light.

Goodness and mercy, they follow me tight,

Forever in His house, I’ll spend my nights.

Shadow of death lurkin’, but I ain’t gon’ fold,

His rod and His staff, they steady my soul.

Anoint my head, oil drips like a crown,

In the face of my foes, I’m never bowed down.

Paths of righteousness, He’s chartin’ my course,

His name on my lips, my unshaken source.

Even in the dark, I don’t lose my stride,

The Shepherd's staff keeps me by His side.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I fear no fight,

Walkin' through the dark, He brings the light.

Goodness and mercy, they follow me tight,

Forever in His house, I’ll spend my nights.

Tables prepared in the presence of snakes,

My Shepherd stays close, no room for fakes.

Cup overflowin', His love don’t quit,

Eternal peace, I’m livin' in it.
