The Lord is My Shepherd
By Joan Estelle High
©2003

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not have lack.
He led me to Earth and He is leading me back.
I will follow His lead through valley and streams
And walk with Him nightly in a garden of dreams.

My soul,  He restores from the cares of the day.
My tears are all gone. He has wiped them away.
The table that He spreads has fine dishes of gold.
He feeds a deep longing that comes from my soul.

Enemies are vanquished, dominion they have none.
As my mind and the Christ mind are united as one.
Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death.
In the gray and cold where the poor have no rest.

I keep eyes on the mountain and the sunlight above.
For I know in my heart the pure joy of God's love.
