Precious promise God has given <br /> That as my Shepherd, He <br /> By waters still, the way will lead <br /> and from want I shall be free. <br /> <br /> When times are tough, the going rough, <br /> Of rest I am assured, <br /> As burdens bear, and troubles wear, <br /> My soul shall be restored. <br /> <br /> When death shall stalk, and its path I walk, <br /> He will reassure my heart; <br /> and I can say through all the way, <br /> Thou my rod and comfort art. <br /> <br /> When enemies encircle me, <br /> I will have no fear. <br /> God will protect and fight, you see, <br /> For He is always near. <br /> <br /> His love and mercy, have been so free, <br /> Down through my life, you know, <br /> So I should praise Him, you'll agree, <br /> For soon to Him I'll go.<br /><br />Calvin M.
