The Lord is my Shepherd forever,
He maketh me down to lie,
He leads me beside the still waters
O how He does satisfy!
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.
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.

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!

I eat of His riches in spirit,
I drink, and O how I am blest!

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!
My will, and emotion, and mind;
And though through the valley I’m walking,
O what a Companion I find!

A table prepared by my Shepherd
I feast on and Satan destroy;
My head is anointed with oil,
My cup runneth over with joy!
I feast on and Satan destroy;
My head is anointed with oil,
My cup runneth over with joy!

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!
Enjoying the goodness of God;
My pleasure is far beyond telling,
My pleasure is Jesus my Lord!

This song is so wonderful, because it reminds us that the Lord is the One shepherding us daily. Hopefully, it can be moment by moment. I am reminded of the wonderful Blending Conference that we had last weekend, because we all thoroughly enjoyed this hymn. This will defintely remain a favorite of mine.
