Psalm 23:1-3
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Whether our pastures are green or white
The Shepherd of our souls is not hampered by the season!
He restores our souls
But only as we pause
And only as we meditate
On His statutes and laws
And only as we pray
And only as we trust
And reconcile our willful way
To Mercy’s perfect must
…and only as we drink
Where we will never thirst
And only as we rearrange
Our loves and put God first
And only by His grace
Through faith, that makes us whole
He leads us to the quiet place
Where He restores our souls
