Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've walked roads that felt endless
Where the pain was hard to hide
Where the weight of all my failures
Pulled me down from every side
But even in the shadows
When my hope was running thin
I felt the Shepherd's footsteps
Come walk toward my sin
[Pre-Chorus]
He didn't ask me for perfection
Didn't tell me to be strong
He just picked me up in mercy
And showed me I belong
[Chorus]
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads my trembling heart
Beside the quiet waters
He restores my weary soul
Even in the darkest valley
I am never alone
For You are with me
Your rod and staff, they bring me home
[Verse 2]
There's a table set before me
In the presence of my fear
And the enemies that have broke me
Start to tremble when You're near
You pour oil upon my wounds
Till the hurt begins to fade
And the cup I thought was empty
Overflows with endless grace
[Bridge]
Surely goodness and Your mercy
Have been running after me
Through the storms I tried to outrun
Through the nights I couldn't breathe
[Chorus]
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads my trembling heart
Beside the quiet waters
He restores my weary soul
Even in the darkest valley
I am never alone
For You are with me
Your rod and staff, they bring me home
[Verse 3]
All my life You've carried me
Even when I walked away
Goodness followed through my wandering
Mercy met me in my shame
And when this life is over
When I breathe my final sigh
Your hand will lift me gently
To the house where I'll abide
[Chorus]
The Lord is my Shepherd
Forever at my side
He leads me through the shadows
Into everlasting light
Beside the quiet waters
He restores what life stole
And even in my final valley
You will never let me go
For You are with me
Yes, You are with me
[Outro]
My Shepherd
My comfort
My home
