I originally wrote this song as a birthday gift for one of my good friends in Shanghai. It is a simple, melodic expression of the promises of love, care, protection, provision, and guidance that are expressed in Psalm 23.
lyrics
I shall not want
I shall not want, for anything
For you leadeth me beside still waters
You lay me down in fields of green
You restore my soul
You restore my soul
So I shall not want
Thy rod and staff
Thy rod and staff, they comfort me
For you plant me safe among my enemies
With them a table you prepare for me
And you fill my cup
Yeah you fill my cup, to overflowing
An anointing over me
Yea, though I walk, through the valley of death, I will fear no evil
For you, like a shepherd with sheep, are always standing there watching over me
And you're leading my way, guiding my steps, on a trail both narrow and steep
Like a deer on a cliff, every foothold so sure, on your pathways of righteousness
So for all my life
For all my life, I'll dwell with you my Shepherd
Your mercy clothing me in brilliance
Your goodness rooted in my heart
So let your will be done
In my life, let your will be done
And let your kingdom come
In this world, let your kingdom come
