Psalms 23
Juanita Bynum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1:]
Your hands reached into the depths of darkness,
Your arms pulled me to the light above them.
Your voice spoke the words that broke my heart,
And Your eyes burn with holy passion, fire, and love.

[Verse 2:]
You lead me beside the quiet waters,
You are in the shadows of death's darkened doors.
You make tables right before my enemies,
You take oil and then You pour it over me.

[Bridge:]
You are my shepherd,
I will fear no evil (fear no evil).

You are my shepherd,
I will fear no evil (fear no evil).

Surely goodness and mercy,
Shall cover me.

All the days of my life,
They shall cover me.

Surely I am going to dwell
In the house of the Lord
Forever and ever,
Forever and ever.

[Verse 2]

[Bridge]

[Ending:]
Ever and ever,




Ever and ever more.
[repeat as desired]
