The Lord is My Shepard, I Shall Not Want

My world was swathed in shadows deep,
My heart filled with despair;
The obligations I can’t meet,
The wrongs I can’t repair.
I wept until my burdened heart
Was mist drenched like the air.

And God stood back while my tears fell
Although He called to me
But I was wailing, lost in tears,
And so I could not see
The loving hand that He held out
To soothe my misery

But slowly, over all my tears,
I heard his quiet voice
He told me that I am his lamb
He asked me to rejoice
For I don’t have to live in pain
But it must be my choice.
I am his lamb, I shall not want,
Though life may have its gales
For I don’t have to fight alone
Through all of life’s travails
If I but turn my face to Him
His love always prevails
