Twenty-third Psalm

A psalm I've rewritten in rhyme..

The Lord's my shepherd;
He meets all my needs.
By the still waters He gently leads..

He leads me to rest
in pastures of green,
restoring my soul, washing me clean..

The brightest of paths
He leads me to take,
out of great kindness, for His name's sake..

As I'm wading though
the darkest despair,
I'll still have a peace, knowing He's there..

His rod and His staff
bring comfort to me,
comfort in front of my enemy.

My cup runs over,
His goodness abounds,
His grace and mercy always surrounds..

The Lord's my Shepherd,
and shall always be..
I'll dwell in His house for eternity..

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
