The Lord is my Shepherd: His word is a comfort to my soul. <br /> and to my spirit, it imputes peace and rest. My heart and mind_ He guides with care; and lifts my spirit <br /> from despairs. <br /> When I am betrayed and persecuted, and desires to retaliate... <br /> Remembrance, of his holy word, adduce my spirit to reconciliate. <br /> For God is righteous and loving' in His' commitments, <br /> and commands us to forgive. When distressed or burdened with tears, he is there to aid <br /> me and my sighs, he hears. <br /> My daily needs he prepares; and my trials and tribulations, <br /> willingly, he shares. As I travel far and near: Malice, dangers, an rivalry, <br /> I do not fear: because I know my God' is real. Jesus says, "I will never leave you alone"... <br /> So, In him I put my trust and faith- and feels secure from harm. The Lord is my Shepherd- My soul He keeps" from all life's <br /> overwhelming defeats... <br /> He guides me, provides for me, because he loves me so... <br /> He teaches me and protects me, from Satan' snares and woes... <br /> That in my life occurs... " I am blessed and happy! <br /> For I know'..."The Lord is my Shepherd".<br /><br />Alma D. Dargan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lord-is-my-shepherd-4/
