My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

I love Candara font. Hahahaha...


I just want to share with you my my favorite song. It's by Isaac Watts. I particularly love the lyrics and the perfect arrangement of this song is by Mack Wilberg. 

My Shepherd will supply my need:
Jehovah is His Name;
In pastures fresh He makes me feed,
Beside the living stream.

He brings my wandering spirit back
When I forsake His ways,
And leads me, for His mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.


When I walk through the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A word of Thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.

Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.


The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my abode,
And all my work be praise!


There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come;
No more a stranger, nor a guest,
But like a child at home.



I love pondering on the message of this song. It touches my heart all the time and reminds me of how dependent I am on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I especially love the first chorus, "He brings my wandering spirit back when I forsake His ways." I am always assured of the Savior's love and of His tender mercies as I reflect on the song's message.


In my succeeding blogs, I might post my own rendition of the song. I hope you like the lyrics and that it may enlighten you as it had enlighten me.
