Songs
Forever, You, Lord Are My Shepherd
Forever, You, Lord, are my shepherd
You open Your home;
There's nothing I need
Lifelong, You make me lie down
Contentment and rest
You have a home made for me
Chorus:
Your justice and mercy,
They comfort me; they comfort me.
I fear no evil, no misery,
For You are with me, yes, You are with me
You Are With Me (Psalm 23)
Oh, Lord, You are my Shepherd
You give me all I need
Lay me down in greener pastures
To the still waters lead
Chorus:
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
Psalm 1 (Delight in the Lord)
Chorus:
Like a tree by a stream
You’ll grow roots and bear fruit
When you find your delight
In the law of the Lord
You will be fulfilled when you shun the wickeds' ways,
When you don't stand in the way of the sinner.
You won't sit with those who scoff, but will contemplate the Law
Day and night, your delight is the Lord
Psalm 6
Chorus:
Return, oh Lord, and rescue my soul
Save me in Your kind, endless love
Oh Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, LORD, for I weaken;
Oh heal me, LORD, my bones suffer attack.
Pre-Chorus:
My soul is bent and bruised;
Oh Lord, oh Lord, how long?
Psalm 143
Chorus:
Answer me quickly, Lord,
My spirit is failing
Do not hide Your face from me
Or I'll be like those in the grave
Let me hear mercy, Lord,
Lovingkindness at daybreak
In Your way won't You lead me
For I trust in You to save
Hear my prayer, oh Lord,
Give ear to my pleading
Righteous and faithful You are
So answer my entreaty
Judge me not, oh Lord,
For I am still Your servant
No one alive is righteous in Your sight
Psalm 130
Out of despair, I cry a prayer:
Hear my voice, oh Lord!
Let Your ears be list’ning for me;
Let mercy be my reward.
Chorus:
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord
For in the Lord is unfailing love
And full redemption
If You had been counting our sins,
Oh Lord, who could survive?
But You forgive again and again;
We rev’rence You, God on high
Psalm 51
Chorus:
Oh, God, I know, I know, I know, I know my sin
So won’t You create a clean heart in me again?
Have mercy on me, God,
Your love is never-failing
Erase the wrongs I’ve done
Through mercy great and faithful
Wash me through and through
From my own sin please purify
I’ve sinned against just You,
I've done what's evil in Your sight
Psalm 32
Chorus:
The Lord who loves me whole
Longs to lead me
And guide me into His way
So I will bare my soul,
I will admit my sin
To receive His freedom and grace
Blessed are you whose sins are forgiven,
Whose wrongs are out of sight
Whose slate the Lord has wiped clean
And whose heart is empty of lies
When I was silent and swallowed my sin
My strength was drained away
Lord, Your hand was heavy on me
Like a summer's heat night and day
Psalm 99
Praise His great and awesome name; Holy is He
A lover of justice, the mighty King established equity
Righteousness and justice in Jacob He has achieved
Exalt the Lord our God, worship at His feet; Holy is He
Chorus:
The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble
He is enthroned above the cherubim
Let the earth shake! God is great in Zion
Over all the nations exalt Him
Psalm 98
Chorus:
Sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord a new song
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
For He has done wonderful, wonderful things
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
His right hand and holy arm have won
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
The vict'ry of salvation for Him
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
The Lord has shown His salvation,
Revealed His righteousness to all the nations
Rememb'ring His faithful love and cov'nant with Israel
Every nation and tribe
Has seen the vict’ry of the Lord of life
So break forth in joyful shouts and songs, all you people
Psalm 96
Chorus:
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!
Let the sea and its creatures raise a thunderous voice!
Let the forests and fields sing a song of delight
For the Lord is coming to set all things right
Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing to the Lord all the earth, bless His name
Shout His good news of salvation
Tell of His glory to all every day
Every nation hungers and needs
To hear of all His wonderful deeds!
Psalm 95
Chorus:
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord
Let us joyfully shout to the Rock who saves us
Let us come before Him with thanksgiving,
Shouting joyfully to Him with psalms
For the Lord is a great God,
And a great King above all Gods
In His hands are the depths of the earth,
Peaks and mountains so glorious and grand
His the oceans, created and owned,
He fashioned and formed the dry land
Every Word of Our Praise (Ps 71/1 Cor 13)
When we're born, You sustain us
And at the start of each day
Morning turns into evening
And You have not gone away
And when the enemy rises against us
As we know it will every day
You show us, Lord, Your comforting greatness
You deserve every word of our praise
You deserve every word of our praise
If we speak like angels
Or in all languages pray
But we don't love like You, Lord,
We're just a din on display
Without You, Lord, we're a pointless noise
But in You we sing new songs every day
You protect us, so Lord we rejoice
You deserve every word of our praise
You deserve every word of our praise
Psalm 16
Chorus:
Save me, O God, You are my refuge,
My only good: You are my Lord.
With You I find the living pathway,
Joy and pleasures forevermore
Godly people spread out over all the world
They are the noble ones who put my spirit at ease
Chasers of idols multiply their sorrows and pain
I’ll never worship or name the idol deities
Surely Goodness and Mercy
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green grass.
He leads me beside the waters so still.
He gives me my own soul back.
Chorus:
Surely goodness and mercy
Will follow me all of my days
And forevermore
In the house of the Lord
I’ll find an abiding place
For the honor and sake of His name alone
He guides me in righteous paths
I fear no evil, though I walk
Through valleys of dark and death
Psalm 88 (Hear My Cry)
My soul is full of trouble;
I am pulled towards the grave
On the list of doomed and dying,
Weak, forsaken, like the slain
Whom You pull your hand away from
And forget like faded paths
You have put me in the deepest,
Darkest pit beneath Your wrath
Chorus:
Lord, God of my salvation,
I call both day and night
Allow my prayer before You,
Tilt Your ear to hear my cry
Though I Walk (Psalm 23)
Refrain:
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will not carry fear, for You are here with me
I will not carry fear, for You are here with me
My Shepherd is the Lord; He makes me lie down in green pastures.
My Shepherd is the Lord; He leads me beside still pools.
My Shepherd is the Lord; He guides me along right paths
My Shepherd is the Lord; Bringing honor to His name
Every Morning
My eyelids rise again,
Like the Lord on Easter Sunday,
But a stony silence weighs upon my heart.
The sunrise coming in
Through the window of a new day
Fails to find the valley of my dark.
Sometimes when I wake up I am
Not so sure that I want to be
Dragged into this world of pain again.
I wish that I could just roll over,
Turn my back on consequences
Of a world that’s soaking in its sin . . . its sin.
Chorus:
But even in the valley, You lead me to the pasture,
A stream running with laughter.
For You are here beside me,
To humble and to guide me,
And suddenly my eyes can see:
I will awake in my Daddy’s house
Every morning . . . every morning.
Kaleidoscope of Living (Psalm 104)
In the silence of the sunrise,
The birds begin their song;
The foundations of the world
Are hidden in the fog
You make the clouds Your chariot,
You make the wind Your messenger
You stretch the heavens like a tent;
How wise and many are Your works
Chorus:
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live,
The Master of the mountains is the Father who forgives
The hand of the Creator has filled the earth and sea,
The kaleidoscope of living, surrounding me
