Poetry
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He has provided me with all I need, and spiritual goodness, while my ever present enemy haunts.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul.
For he led me from a treacherous, slippery place, with boisterous waves about, where I lay on a jagged, dangerous shoal
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
I must submit to his will, and be willing to be led, lest I stumble while leading myself and my great enemy overtakes.
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
God’s path is straight and narrow, dangers on every side, but his word is a light for my path, and a lamp for my feet.
Thy Rod, and Thy Staff, they comfort me.
If not for his loving rod, I would have already veered off the path his staff aids me when the path is rough, and steep.
Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of my enemies.
For God has watered my Garden every moment and blessed me in spite of me, as I daily seek him to please.
Thou anoinest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.
He called me out of complete darkness anointing me that night and led me into his marvelous light, he is my refuge, my shield, my cover.
Surely goodness, and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
As long as I purge, and cleanse my heart every day, giving no place in my heart for envy and strife.
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
And I shall feast at the table spread for me, for he has promised to forsake me never.
Oh what wonderful words our Lord has given to us for comfort in our times of greatest need.
As we seek to please him daily, and for his wonderful mercy, love and grace we humbly plead.
