Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd , I lack nothing . He makes me lie down in green pastures , he leads me beside quiet waters , he refreshes my soul . He guides me along the right paths for his name ’ s sake . Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ,, I will fear no evil , for you are with me ; your rod and your staff , they comfort me . You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies . You anoint my head with oil ; my cup overflows . Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life , and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever ..
To My Family
When I am gone , release me , let me go I have so many things to see and do . You must not tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that we had so many years . I gave you my love , you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness . I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it ’ s time I travelled on alone . So grieve awhile for me-if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust . It ’ s only for a while that we must part So bless the memories within your heart . I will not be far away , for life goes on- So if you need me , call and I will come Though you cannot see or touch me I will be near And if you listen with your heart you will hear All of my love around you - soft and clear . Then when you must come this way alone , I will greet you with a smile and a ‘ Welcome Home ’
