My Shepherd
When I make the Lord my Shepherd,
He leaves nothing more
to want.
He leads me out of my wilderness
To a place where I can
feed and rest.
He calms the storms within
And heals my wounded
heart.
When choosing to follow His instruction,
stop trying to
sit on His throne.
Then, I can walk through the storm
Knowing evil can't
touch me.
His presence becomes so real
All else is barely
noticed.
He directs my every step
So all landmines are
missed.
His Spirit swells up within me,
My heart overflows
with joy ...
And the love of God
Begins to exude
through me.
It is then that I truly
Dwell in the Lord's
House.
And now, I can't imagine having
Chosen to live any
other way.
