Music & lyrics by Vij Sodera
The LORD is my Shepherd
I shall not want
The LORD is my Shepherd
I shall not want no more
He leads me down beside still waters
He restores my soul
Even though I walk
Through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil
Even though I walk
Through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear evil no more
For Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff,
They comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
And my cup overflows
Surely goodness, mercy shall follow me
Wherever I go
All the days of my life
Vij’s notes:
Psalm 23 is commonly sung at funerals, accompanied by a sad tune.
However, King David’s words declare the fact that every minute of every day, God is there, always willing to guide and support us, if only we would turn to Him.
So, what might be thought as sombre is, in fact, the most joyful of songs.
The LORD is my Shepherd – I shall not want…
