My love is my shepherd, I need nothing more,
for she leads me into the lush pastures of green and beside the still waters.
My life is renewed today.
Guiding me on the best paths of her way,
though I walk through the valleys of darkness and fear, my love is with me.
Anointed and blessed with abundance I thrive
with a table prepared in spite of my enemies and all my secret fears.
My soul lacks for nothing now.
Goodness and mercy are following me
every day of my life and I’m forever home in the presence of love.
