About this Hymn
Shane & Shane have brought about a completely fresh and beautiful setting of Psalm 23. This has the feel of a classic gospel ballad and captures the essence of the psalm's imagery with the soaring chorus, "Surely goodness, surely mercy."
Lyrics
Verse 1
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In green pastures he makes me lie down. He restores my soul and leads me on for his name, for his great name.
Chorus
Surely goodness, surely mercy right beside me all my days. And I will dwell in your house forever and bless your holy name.
Verse 2
You prepare a table right before me in the presence of my enemies. Though the arrow flies and the terror of night is at my door, I'll trust you, Lord.
Bridge
And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you are on my side.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In green pastures he makes me lie down. He restores my soul and leads me on for his name, for his great name.
Chorus
Surely goodness, surely mercy right beside me all my days. And I will dwell in your house forever and bless your holy name.
Verse 2
You prepare a table right before me in the presence of my enemies. Though the arrow flies and the terror of night is at my door, I'll trust you, Lord.
Bridge
And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you are on my side.
