The Lord is My Shepherd

No 127 in AOV NG is Ps 23, “The Lord is My Shepherd” by Joshua Blakesley.  You can hear his version here.  It is gentle, reflective and gets it all done in two verses.  Love the cello, but BIAB’s fiddle is the best I can do.

It can be purchased for download at spiritandsong.

I’m not sure the song has enough to recommend it over every other setting of this psalm, but see what you think.

Refrain
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.

Verse 1

He lets me rest in open fields so green.
He leads me to the quiet streams.
He gives me strength and guides me in his ways.
He renews his promises each day.

Refrain

Verse 2

He is my guide, my shepherd and my king,
and in my fear he offers peace.
Though I walk through the valley, I will not be afraid.
You will protect me; I’ll be saved.
