My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

   C   G7   C    G7  Am G  C
My Shepherd will supply my need:
  G C   Am G   F C
Jehovah is His Name;
      G7     C    G7 Am    G  C
In pastures fresh He makes me feed,
  G    C   Am G   F  C
Beside the living stream.
   Am     C     F      Dm     C
He brings my wandering spirit back
     Am        Dm  C
When I forsake His ways,
    G         C   G   Am      C
And leads me, for His mercy’s sake,
   Em    C  Am    G   F   C
In paths of truth and grace.

When I walk through the shades of death
His presence is my stay;
One word of His supporting grace
Drives all my fears away.
His hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
His 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.
