THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD Meditation: AMAZING GRACE

1. The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want; 1. Amazing grace! how sweet that sound,
He makes me down to lie That saved a wretch like me!
In pastures green; he leadeth me I once was lost but now am found,
The quiet waters by. Was blind but now I see.

2. My soul he doth restore again, 2. “Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And me to walk doth make And grace my fears relieved;
Within the paths of righteousness, How precious did that grace appear,
E'en for his own name's sake. The hour I first believed.

3. Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, 3. Thro’ many dangers toils and snares,
Yet will I fear no ill: I have already come;
For thou art with me, and thy rod ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And staff me comfort still. And grace will lead me home.

4. My table thou hast furnished 4. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
In presence of my foes; Bright shining as the sun,
My head thou dost with oil anoint We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,
And my cup overflows. Than when we first begun. AMEN

Yet in my dreams I’ll be……… Take our bread, we ask you,

Sun moon and stars forgot, upward I fly. We are yours, we are yours.
Still all my song shall be………
4. Though things go well with me, comfort in life,
Friends, food, and property, money and all.
Still all I want shall be………... Yours as we stand at the table you set,
Yours as we eat the bread our hearts can't forget.
We are the signs of your life with us yet;

Your holy people stand washed in your blood,
Spirit-filled, yet hungry, we await your food.
