PSALM 23

God, Like a Shepherd, Cares for Me

God, like a shepherd, cares for me

In meadows green he gives me rest

Where’er he leads me I am free

My precious Savior gave his best.

By quiet streams he gently leads

He takes away all need to fear

And with his Word my heart he feeds

I give to Him my life to steer.

Upon my head he placed his mark

In death he’ll take me by the hand

And lead me through its valley dark

Until I reach the promised land.

His staff is there to hold me up.

His rod strikes fear in all my foes

His blessings come to fill my cup

His gracious love forever flows.

He placed before me food to eat

He will protect me all the while

My enemies he made retreat

My life is his; none can defile
