From the Psalms
The Shepherd’s Road
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
The shepherd came walking when the long dark fell
He led me down to water still as stone
He laid me in a pasture green and ancient
He gave me back a soul I’d sold alone
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know the country, I don’t know the road
But I know the hand that walks me through the cold
Chorus
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evil, you are with me
(You are with me)
Your rod, your staff — a mercy and a weapon
I will fear no evil, you are with me
Oh, you are with me
Verse 2
He walks ahead of me into the valley
Where the shadow keeps its slow and patient name
Where the wolves have learned the shape of every pilgrim
Where the road grows thin and calls me just the same
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know the hour, I don’t know the day
But I know the hand that will not turn away
Chorus
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evil, you are with me
(You are with me)
Your rod, your staff — a mercy and a weapon
I will fear no evil, you are with me
Oh, you are with me
Bridge
He sets a table where my enemies are watching
He anoints my head with oil and with flame
My cup is a dark water overflowing
Every hunger I have carried finds its name
And goodness, and mercy, they are coming up behind me
All my days, all my dying days
And the house of the shepherd opens at the river
Opens at the ending of the road
Final Chorus
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evil, you are with me
(You are with me)
Though I walk, though I walk, through the hollow
I will fear no evil, you are with me
Oh, you are with me
Oh, you are with me
Outro
Surely goodness, surely mercy
Walk behind me all my days
I will dwell in the house of the shepherd
I will dwell and I will stay
You are with me
