Song - My Shepherd

Picture
Unlike most of my songs, "My Shepherd" began not with the lyrics but with the music.  I wrote the melody and chords for the entire song before I wrote any lyrics.  Then, while playing the melody, the phrase "Lord, you are my shepherd" came to mind and I thought of Psalm 23.  This passage is so familiar and yet so filled with meaning.  After reading Psalm 23 in several different versions of the Bible, I wrote this paraphrase of this most beautiful of Psalms.
