THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT.
HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.
HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.
HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.
YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY
OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL, FOR THOU ART WITH ME.
THY ROD AND THY STAFF THEY COMFORT ME.
THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE
PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES.
THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL.
MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.
SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.
23 PSALM
IN MEMORY OF OUR BROTHERS
DO NOT STAND BY MY GRAVE AND WEEP,
I AM NOT THERE. I DO NOT SLEEP.
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW.
I AM THE DIAMOND'S GLINT ON SNOW.
I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN.
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN'S RAIN.
WHEN YOU AWAKE IN THE MORNING'S HUSH,
I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH
OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLE FLIGHT.
DO NOT STAND BY MY GRAVE AND CRY,
I AM NOT THERE. I DID NOT DIE.
