THE LORD IS MY ROCK
MY TOTALWAY OF BEING
I NEED NOTHING ELSE
AS FAR AS I AM SEEING.
IN GREEN FIELDS I WILL WALK
BESIDE A CALM BLUE SEA
HE REFRESHES MY SOUL
I KNOW THE JOY OF BEING FREE.
'THO I WALK IN DEATH'S SHADOW
I DO NOT FEAR ITS WRATH
HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME
HE KEEPS ME ON HIS PATH.
HE PREPARES A TABLE
IN SIGHT OF THOSE THAT HATE
ANOINTS MY HEAD WITH JOY
I SUFFER NO KNOWN FATE.
MY GLASS IS FLOWING OVER
IN THE SHELTER OF HIS LOVE
BY THE GOODNESS OF HIS MERCY
WHICH COMES FROM UP ABOVE.
I KNOW THAT BLESSINGS COME
THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SIN
WHEN THIS JOURNEY'S OVER
WHEN ALL LIGHT BEGINS TO DIM;
IN HIS HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS
AND HE HAS A ROOM TO SPARE
ONE HE'S PROMISED ME
THAT SHOWS HIS LOVING CARE.
