I Look Back – You Were There

I look back – You were there –
I look forward – I expect You –
LORD, my God – You will show
Yourself mighty – You will be
Present with me – You will never
Leave me alone
 
I won’t be hungry or thirsty –
I won’t be begging for bread –
Jehovah Jireh – my Provider –
You will set a table for me –
I’ll have enough food to invite
Others to eat
 
Thank You for Your goodness –
LORD – Thank You for Your might –
If trouble comes – You will stay
With me to comfort me – You
Will be my God and I will
Praise You always

Psalm 23 – The Bible (KJV) – The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
