The Lord is my Pa, I have everything I need
He makes me lie down in a warm bed
He leads me to songs and people,
places and writings
and there restores my soul
He guides my thoughts, my walk, my talk
Because I have identified myself with Him
An identity He protects,
For His name's sake
As often as my count has failed
I face shadows, daunting voices, demise
I will not fear
For, Pa stands guard
He wills to sustain and comfort
The day of answer comes!
In the face of my shadows, voices and demise
You light and they are vanquished!
Ha! You reward patience and courage
And my joy overflows!
Indeed goodness and love
are my abode, all my life!
And I dwell with you.
Forever
Amen.
