The Lord is my Shepherd
He goes before me
Defender behind me

My cup’s overflowing
No weapon can harm me
I won’t fear

Hallelujah I am not alone
He's my comfort, always holds me close

Gives me assurance
That I'll see Your Glory

So I will walk in Your Peace
Your Spirit lives within me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Psalm 23 (I Am Not Alone)” by People & Songs retells the shepherd psalm as a worship song. It begins with “The Lord is my Shepherd,” then describes Him going before and behind the singer, so that there is no fear, with an overflowing cup and no weapon able to do harm.
The chorus puts the comfort into one line: “Hallelujah, I am not alone, He’s my comfort, always holds me close.” The second verse follows the psalm through mountains and valleys, restored soul, mercy and goodness, and the hope of seeing His glory face to face. The bridge adds that the Spirit lives within the singer and gives peace and victory.
The song is close to Psalm 23:1-6, Isaiah 54:17 and 1 Corinthians 13:12. Its language is plain and repeated, so it works well as a short congregational prayer of trust.
