2011-06-30 Poetry, Songs, Psalms 23 version 2

Or, if we wanted to sing it to the tune of
"Away in a Manger," we would need another line
for each verse. For example:

The Lord is my shepherd, there's nothing I need.
He lets me lie down in green pastures to feed.
And ever, beside the still water, He leads.
The Lord is my shepherd, there's nothing I need.

He strengthens my soul and brings joy to my heart.
He leads me in ways that are right, from the start.
There's naught in this world that can keep us apart.
He strengthens my soul and brings joy to my heart.

And yes! Though I walk through the shadow of death,
And You are within me --- I breathe with Your breath ---
No evil can make me afraid or lose faith.
With You, I can walk through the shadow of death.

Your rod and Your staff are a comfort to me.
You give me a feast --- make my enemies flee.
With oil, You anoint me as king --- even me.
Your rod and Your staff are a comfort to me.

My cup overflows with the goodness You gave.
Your mercy shall follow me down through the grave,
And I shall reside in the house of Your love.
Forever and ever, with You I am saved.

Write well,
Logan

2011-06-29 Poetry Songs --- From Psalms 23

From the 23rd Psalm ---

The Lord is my shepherd, there's nothing I need.
He lets me lie down in new pastures to feed.
And ever, beside the still water, He leads.

He strengthens my soul and sings joy in my heart.
He leads me in ways that are right, from the start.
There's naught in this world that can keep us apart.

And yes! Though I walk through the shadow of death,
And You are within me --- I breathe with Your breath ---
No evil can make me afraid or lose faith.

Your rod and Your staff are a comfort to me.
You gave me a feast --- made my enemies flee.
With oil, You anointed me king --- even me.

My cup overflows with the goodness You gave.
Your mercy shall follow me down through the grave,
And I shall reside in the house of Your love.

Forever and ever, amen and amen,
I still will reside in the house of Your love.
Forever and ever, amen and amen.

Sleep Well,
Logan
