PSALM 23
Leslie Brandt


The Lord is my constant companion.
There is no need that he cannot fulfill.

Whether his course for me points to the mountaintops of glorious ecstasy
or to the valleys of human suffering
He is by my side,
He is ever present with me.

He is close beside me when I tread the dark streets of danger
and even when I flirt with death itself,
He will not leave me.

When the pain is severe, he is near to comfort.
When the burden is heavy, he is there to lean upon.
When depression darkens my soul, He touches me with eternal joy.
When I fell empty or alone, He fills the aching vacuum with His power.

My security is in His promise to be near me always,
and in the knowledge that He will never let me go.
