The Lord is my Shepherd forever

1
The Lord is my Shepherd forever,
  He maketh me down to lie,
He leads me beside the still waters
  O how He does satisfy!
  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,
And I shall feast at the table spread for me;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
  All the days, all the days of my life.
2
My Shepherd Himself is my pasture,
  My Shepherd, the waters of rest;
I eat of His riches in spirit,
  I drink, and O how I am blest!
3
My Shepherd my soul is restoring,
  My will, and emotion, and mind;
And though through the valley I'm walking,
  O what a Companion I find!
4
A table prepared by my Shepherd
  I feast on and Satan destroy;
My head is anointed with oil,
  My cup runneth over with joy!
5
And now in His house I am dwelling
  Enjoying the goodness of God;
My pleasure is far beyond telling,
  My pleasure is Jesus my Lord!

O what a Shepherd, all the days of our life,

He is Indeed Jehovah Jireh - As we look to this great Shepherd of our souls He will bring us beside the still waters and 'There' He will provide for us. His paths are always Straight. There is a place where He wants us to be and so long as we are there He will be faithful to His word. He is the chief Shepherd!

Great song, perfect lyrics, touching words. With this meditation daily, we need not fear or dread our Shepherd's total and a cocksure provision. He is indeed JEHOVAH-RAAH.
