Singing Our Faith ‎#166

166. The Lord, the Lord, the Lord Is My Shepherd

Refrain:
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is my shepherd,
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is my shepherd,
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is my shepherd,
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.

1 You bring me rest in green, green pastures,
You lead me to the still, still waters,
You guide me along your own right way,
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.

2 My fear is gone for you are with me,
Your rod and staff bring comfort sure;
Your goodness and mercy shall follow me,
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.
