Yea, Though I Walk Through Life Shadowed Much with Death

Yea, though I walk through life shadowed much with death
I fear no evil, feeling God’s comfort and saving breath

For oft before me, He prepares a table in the presence of my enemies
That I might feast as He anoints my head till my cup flows sweetly over
All my days, surely, goodness and mercy has followed me and my family
In faith, I pray that I might see and dwell with Him forever

Yea and recognizing all this pertains to a spiritual sense
I strive to maintain His Spirit for my very soul's existence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever, I see His hand although the innocent are hurt ofttimes
As disease and calamities come and afflict all of mankind

I know there are worse things to suffer than mere mortal destruction
For, I often seek divine protection from what would to spiritually harm
According to His time and will, I know He sends pertinent instruction
Yea, I feel preserved through the grace of His mighty reaching arm

Thus, I find I've only myself to blame when my life is in the wrong
Having fallen into the traps of Satan where I know I don't belong
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The evils of lust and jealousy are about me in every way
Thus, I pray to God for guidance that temptations stay away

As, all the while, I hold the words of Christ, as I would to a rod
Leading me to safety...lest darkness completely surround
Yea I trust not my own paths for the natural man's an enemy to God
Leaning to His enticings… I yield, that His Spirit can be found

Here and now I vow that to His rod and staff I’ll cling for all my days
And seek for the safety that comes to one who feasts, prays, and obeys
