My Shepherd

August 17-23: Psalm 23

The Lord, my Shepherd, is my guide

By waters still He leads

To greenest meadows He directs

To care for all my needs.

I walk with Him on paths of peace

And though darkness surrounds

I fear it not, for thus I know

All evil He confounds.

The rod and staff within His hands

Protect and guide His sheep

His goodness and His mercy are

The land that marks His keep.

I do not want for anything

My shepherd will provide

He calls my name to beckon me

And keeps me by His side.
