You Are With Me (Psalm 23)

You Are With Me (Psalm 23)

Brian West

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

Lord, restore me; make me holy

Just and righteous paths reveal

For You only, for Your glory

You are all that is real

Chorus

Though I'm walking through the darkness

There's no evil I fear

In the shadow land so heartless

Still I know You are near

Chorus

You protect and reassure me,

Making feasts before my foes

With Your oil You anoint me

So my cup overflows

Chorus

Surely goodness, love, and mercy

Will pursue me all my days

And the Lord's own holy temple

Will be my home always

Chorus

Comfort Me No More (Rachel Mourning Her Children)

Refrain:
Let weeping fill the streets
Let weeping fill the streets
O comfort me no more
O comfort me no more

We live and breathe our poverty
Death always close at hand
Each passing year a miracle
That shines in this dark land

But this attack so savage,
Unexpected, and extreme
Makes all the common travesties
Feel like a faded dream

Refrain

O heartless puppet king, 
You took my children to the grave
But this, my chance to mourn, 
I will not let you steal away

The pow’rful clench their fists
And our prospects start to dim
In grief God meets us mourning,
And each morning we are His

Let weeping fill the streets
Let weeping fill the streets
O comfort me no more
My children are no more

The Lord is With You (Advent 3)

The Lord is with you; He never leaves you
So lay your fear down and sing
His yoke is easy, His burden light,
So kneel and trust our loving King
Through every dark tragedy,
He is a source of loving comfort
He mourns and holds you as you grieve;
The Lord is with you.

The Lord is with you, in rushing waters
The rivers won't overwhelm
And when the fire arises 'round you,
You will not be without His help
He is your Savior, the Lord,
And you are precious beyond measure
You are His pleasure; You're adored
The Lord is with you.

The Lord is with you; He won't forsake you
Our God is making all things new
So be courageous; be bold and fearless
What He has promised, He will do
Oh, from His wealth he brings joy;
And from His beauty He gives blessing
In our distress we hear His voice;
The Lord is with You.

The Lord is with you; He lives within you
And through you He will do great things
Most High and Holy, in manger lowly,
Oh here the paradox begins
For these are strange words to hear
For you and me or Virgin Mary
His very birth says, "Have no fear,"
The Lord is with you.
