About the Song
The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need
She makes me lie down in green meadows
Beside the still waters, She will lead
She restores my soul, She rights my wrongs
She leads me in a path of good things
And fills my heart with songs
Even though I walk through a dark and dreary land
There is nothing that can shake me
She has said She won't forsake me
I'm in her hand
She sets a table before me
In the presence of my foes
She anoints my head with oil
And my cup overflows
Surely, surely goodness & kindness will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will live in her house
Forever, forever & ever
Glory be to our Mother & Daughter
And to the Holy of Holies
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World, without end, amen
