The Lord is my Savior

I shall not be in want,

He provides my material needs

He gives me mental peace,

He provides for my salvation

He leads me in the path of righteousness to honor His name.

When I go through the trials of death, I will not be in fear,

for You are with me, Your Word and Spirit they comfort me.

You strengthen me in the presence of my enemies,

You anoint me with the Holy Spirit, my blessings overflow,

Truly goodness and mercy will be with me all my life,

and I will abide with Jesus Christ forever.

Amen
