The Lord is my Shepherd forever

Composer: John W. Peterson

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.

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!

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!

A table prepared by my Shepherd

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!
