from death into life.

[Verse 1]
Em        Am           Em7             A
God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I want
  Em          Am         Em7              A
I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love,

I walk by the quiet waters   of peace.

Em         Am           Em7           A
Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul,
    Em         Am
you lead me by pathways of
Em7               A
righteousness and truth,
   Am7          Bm7      Am    D       Em
my spirit shall sing the music of your Name.

Though I should wander the valley of death,
  Em      Am        Em7           A
I fear no evil, for you are at my side,
     Am7          Bm7       Am      D      Em
your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope.
Am  Em7  A


[Bridge]
Am7                  D
   You have set me a banquet of love
G                 C
   in the face of hatred,
Am                  Am7     Am     B              B7
   crowning me with love beyond my power to hold.


[Verse 4]
Em          Am           Em7          A
Surely your kindness and mercy follow me
Am7     Bm7        A
all the days of my life;
       Am7          Bm7         C      D    Em
I will dwell in the house of my God forever-more.
