The Lord’s my Shepherd I have everything I need
Mercy and love follow me
Though I walk through the dark valley of death I will
Not be afraid for He’s here
The Lord’s my refuge no evil can come near me
Dwelling in His secret place
I put my trust in Him He is my shield I will
Let His peace rule in my heart
Surely the Angel of the Lord is around me
I have no cause to fear
My God will not forsake me
I am His/my Father’s child, no enemy can touch me
I will not die but live to tell what He has done
He has ransomed me He gave me all authority
Power love and a sound mind
Strong in the Lord and the power of His might I will
Put on His armour and stand
(surely) All around me
(surely) Yes I will live, Yes I will live
(surely)
