Psalm 23 The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want. He makes me lie in pastures green. He leads me by the still, still waters, His goodness restores my soul.
Chorus And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone, For Your endless mercy follows me, Your goodness will lead me home.
Psalm 23 He guides my ways in righteousness, And He anoints my head with oil, And my cup, it overflows with joy, I feast on His pure delights.
Chorus And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone, For Your endless mercy follows me, Your goodness will lead me home.
Psalm 23 And though I walk the darkest path, I will not fear the evil one, For You are with me, and Your rod and staff Are the comfort I need to know.
Chorus And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone, For Your endless mercy follows me, Your goodness will lead me home. ***
Be Strong in the Lord Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage; Your mighty Defender is always the same! Mount up with wings, as the eagle ascending; Victory is sure when you call on His name!
Chorus Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord, And be of good courage, For He is your Guide. Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord, And rejoice for the victory is yours.
Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage; Your mighty Commander will vanquish the foe. Fear not the battle for the victory is always His; He will protect you wherever you go.
