(Intro - Heavy, distorted guitar riff with a driving drum beat)
One voice in the static, a hand in the fray
He guides the tired spirit, at the close of the day
Lays me down in the cool grass, when the concrete burns hot
A silent river running, in this desolate spot
He's the fuel for the engine, that just refused to start
A compass in the darkness, a brand new beating heart
He sets the course true now, to honor that old name
Yeah, He lights the way out, and He owns the wicked flame.
(Louder, more aggressive tempo, with crashing cymbals)
My Shepherd's got my back, yeah, I'm never running low
Across the fields of green, where the peaceful waters flow!
Even when the shadows fall, down the valley of the dead
No fear in my soul, 'cause your light is in my head!
Oh, I have all I need!
Yeah, I have all I need!
I'm walking through the black pit, the shadows getting deep
But the air is thin with comfort, a promise that I keep
I feel the metal coldness, the staff against my side
It's a barrier of promise, where nowhere left to hide
They gather 'round the wreckage, the critics and the doubt
But you set the table, before they figured it out
The oil upon my forehead, a sacred, messy crown
Yeah, this cup is overflowing, can't hold the blessings down.
(Louder, more aggressive tempo, with crashing cymbals)
My Shepherd's got my back, yeah, I'm never running low
Across the fields of green, where the peaceful waters flow!
Even when the shadows fall, down the valley of the dead
No fear in my soul, 'cause your light is in my head!
Oh, I have all I need!
Yeah, I have all I need!
(Guitar Solo)
(Fast, melodic, and slightly mournful guitar solo)Bridge
No escape from the good things, they're chasing after me
A relentless, perfect love, for all eternity
I'm locked into this contract, a life inside the walls
Where the only voice I hear, is the one that never falls.
(Full power, final repetition)
My Shepherd's got my back, yeah, I'm never running low
Across the fields of green, where the peaceful waters flow!
Even when the shadows fall, down the valley of the dead
No fear in my soul, 'cause your light is in my head!
Oh, I have all I need!
Yeah, I have all I need!
Forever, yeah, forever...
(Fade out with the main guitar riff and drum beat)
