My Shepherd
The Lord, my Lord is my shepherd
So I shall not want for anything
He leads me and will guide me
And in His fold he will hide me
So of my shepherd I shall sing
Oh the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He defends me with His staff and rod
I’ll follow my shepherd for I heed His voice
When He calls I hear the voice of God.
The Lord, The Lord is my shepherd
All my true needs he shall provide
Oh I am one of His chosen sheep
And my life He will always keep
As in his own flock I abide
Bridge
My shepherd guides, my shepherd leads
I’m stirred by his comforting call
Through this world’s dangers he ever intercedes
My keeper, my defense, whatever befalls
Oh the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He defends me with His staff and rod
I will follow my shepherd for I heed His voice
When He calls I hear the voice of God.

Green Pastures, Still Waters
God makes me lie down in pastures of green
Beside still waters He bids me rest
In beautiful places this earth has not seen
Where the waters flow deep I am blessed
So I will lie down and I will slow down
For where He leads me there I will surely go
Here I will remain; His peace I will gain
In this redeeming respite I will know
How still the still waters can come to flow
My heart will repose in this beautiful place
As in His sweet presence I delight
For my master led me there by His grace
Where His flock feeds and all is made right
So I will lie down I will slow down
For where He leads me there I will go
Here I will remain and His peace I will gain
In this redeeming respite I will know
How still the still waters can flow

Restorer of my Soul
I am broken and weak and poor
But I know one who my soul restores
He is the one who is able
To set forth a delightful table
In the midst of this worldly war
The restorer of my soul
Shall overcome and make me whole
As I dine at His table
He will make me more than able
For my enemies are under His control
I shall hope in the restorer of my soul!
I shall hope in the restorer of my soul!
My soul shall wane and even faint
My enemies may then curse this saint
By His power and His great might
I will fight the good and righteous fight
My Warrior King hears my complaint
The restorer of my soul
Shall overcome and make me whole
As I dine at His table
He will make me more than able
For my enemies are under His control
I shall hope in the restorer of my soul!
I shall hope in the restorer of my soul!

For His Name’s Sake.
All we like sheep we have surely gone astray
We’ve gone everyone to our own way
There is one who pursues us every day
I will follow as He leads me on
He leads me in paths of righteousness
For his name's sake, For his name's sake.
He guides me to heaven’s blessedness
For His Name’s sake. For his name's sake.
He directs my ways I’ll not digress
For His Name’s sake. For his name's sake.
I’s be prone to wander but he holds fast
He will never let go and his grip will last
All of my burdens on my Christ I will cast
And will follow as He leads me on
He leads me in paths of righteousness
For his name's sake, For his name's sake.
He guides me to heaven’s blessedness
For His Name’s sake. For his name's sake.
He directs my ways I’ll not digress
For His Name’s sake. For his name's sake.
For His Name’s sake. For his name's sake.
For His Name’s sake. For his name's sake.

Cup of Annointing
Oh set me apart as holy
Set apart as a ruler and a priest
I would ask to serve you only
Pour your blessing and power is released
Oil of gladness Oil of gladness
Lord anoint this one you chose
Oil of healing Oil of healing
Crush the olive and it flows
You anoint my head with oil
And my cup shall surely overflow
You anoint my head with oil
And my cup it surely overflows.
Lord, I am your tabernacle
Your power in me deploy
Lay me out upon your altar
Pour on me the oil of joy
And now my cup will overflow
Filled and it will overflow
I lift the cup of salvation
And my doubt you’ll overthrow.
You anoint my head with oil
And my cup shall surely overflow
You anoint my head with oil
And my cup it surely overflows.

Valley of the Shadow
Lord I walk, I will walk that road
Through the valley of death it will go
But I know that you go with me
I will fear no evil here below.
Lord I walk that road so weary
Death hangs heavy on each broken bough
But it’s fearsome fangs are shattered
By the crimson blood stains on your brow.
In the valley of the shadow
I will surely find Christ’s mercy seat.
The serpent has felt your death blow
Satan has seen his sure defeat
Your rod and staff, your staff and rod
Comfort me as falls the night
I walk the pathway with my God
Walk by faith and not by sight
In the valley of the shadow
I will surely find Christ’s mercy seat.
The serpent has felt your death blow
Here Satan has seen his sure defeat
Here Death has seen its sure defeat
Here Shadows fail as life’s complete.

Goodness and Mercy
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
You alone are good and from you all good things flow
Lord your goodness is faithful and true
For every good, perfect gift you alone bestow
Your goodness I forever pursue
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
Lord your mercy we shall not, cannot comprehend
Each morning it comes to us anew
And your mercy, Lord, it knows no end
We pray You’ll make us merciful like You
Your goodness and mercy-For these I am thirsty
So like a fountain may goodness and mercy flow
This is what you require let it be my desire
In my life let goodness and mercy show
That the nations may come to know…
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…
Surely goodness, surely mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life…

Abide (House of the Lord)
Goodness and mercy follow me
To that good place where I shall dwell
I will abide within your courts Lord
For there forever -it is well.
In your courts there is a blessing
In those courts we will find our Lord
There repenting and confessing
Goodness and mercy are outpoured
God’s house is our forever home
Many dwelling places he’s made
There we will know as we are known
We’ll find the glory never fades
The Lord ‘s house is not made of wood
His abode is not made of stone
It stands forever for our good
For the glory of God alone!
God’s house is our forever home
Many dwelling places he’s made
There we will know as we are known
We’ll find the glory never fades.
We’ll find the glory never fades
We’ll find the glory never fades
