[Verse 1]

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

In green pastures He makes me lie down.

He restores my soul and leads me on for His name.

For His great name.


[Chorus]

Surely goodness, surely mercy.

Right besides me all my days.

And I will dwell in your house forever.

And bless your holy name.


[Verse 2]

You prepare a table right before me.

In the presence of my enemies.

Though the arrows flies and the terror of night.

Is at my door, I'll trust you Lord.

(repeat chorus)


[Bridge]

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

I will fear no evil.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

You are on my side.


Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

I will fear no evil.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

You are on my side.


Surely goodness, surely mercy.

Right besides me all my days.

And I will dwell in your house forever.

And bless your holy name.


Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

I will fear no evil.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

You are on my side.


Surely goodness, surely mercy.

Right besides me all my days.

And I will dwell in your house forever.

And bless your holy name.
