The Lord my portion
I shall not want
The Lord my comfort
I shall not fear
Yea, though I walk through the valley low
Yeah, though the path gets steep
Surely goodness will follow me
Every promise will be light to my feet
When my heart is prone to wandering
Jesus You shepherd me
The Lord my keeper
I stand secure
The Lord my healer
Your love endures
Yea, though I walk through the valley low
Yeah though the path gets steep
Surely goodness will follow me
Every promise will be light to my feet
When my heart is prone to wandering
Jesus You shepherd me
And I will dwell for all my days
In the shadow of Your relentless grace
And I will dwell for all my days
In Your presence
Your presence!
Surely goodness will follow me
Every promise will be light to my feet
When my heart is prone to wandering
Jesus You shepherd me
Surely goodness will follow me
Every promise will be light to my feet
When my heart is prone to wandering
Surely goodness will follow me
Every promise will be light to my feet
When my heart is prone to wandering
Jesus You shepherd me
Oh my Jesus, You shepherd me
