Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd ( He guides me ) I shall not want. ( He meets my needs.)
He maketh me to lie down ( He allows me to rest ) in the green pastures. ( Cool green lush field)
He restoreth my soul. ( As He checks my wounds, He puts salve and oil to heal them.)
He leadeth me beside the still water. ( When I am thirsty and tired and my walk has been
tiring, He leads me to drink afresh and renews my dry soul.)
He leads me on the path of righteousness for His namesake. ( He knows my path better
than I, and it brings Him pleasure to lead me aright, to bring Him Glory and not shame.)
Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death ( There are times when
the enemy tried to take me from my Shepherd by death ) I will fear no evil. ( I need
not fear, my Shepherd, my Lord Jesus, thou art with me.)
His rod and staff they comfort me. ( The rod of correction gets my attention, the
staff, He uses as a crook to pull me back into the fold.) His love comforts me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. ( He goes before
me and protects me against those who mean harm )
Thou anoinst my head with oil, ( when I am in need of wisdom,) my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. ( He gives me
the grace to do that which is pleasing to Him ) and I will dwell in the House of the
Lord forever. ( Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus ) ~J~K~2
 
I wonder if this great medley would go down well set to music in Nasheville, TN? You know how Bruce Hornsby and the late Tupac Amaru have had a musical medley issued? I think something similar with words like these Biblical lyrics ingeniously brought together, would be very successful!

Blessings.
