Lyrics

Thrash

The Lord is my shepherd he gives me all I need

Like grass that is tender and water that is sweet

He knows all the places that safely feed

It's good to be a sheep of the Lord

He knows when I'm hurting and how to put it right

He knows how to lead so the journey's a delight

No matter how dark it gets he's better than a light

I fell very safe with the Lord

Rap unaccompanied with actions

When bullies surround me the Lord is on my side

He asks me 'round for dinner and spreads a feast out wide

And next time they see me those bullies want to hide

They know I'm a friend of the Lord

Thrash

The Lord is my shepherd and each and every day

He's awesomely forgiving in each and every way

I know his loving kindness and that's why I will stay

Forever in the house of the Lord

BAAAAAAA

Lead sheet

Thrash (originally played on a solid body with humbuckers through an 8" practice amp with a dirty channel, all turned up full except a bit of treble cut on the amp) 

A (for as long as seems good)

    A 

The Lord is my shepherd he gives me all I need

                                            E

Like grass that is tender and water that is sweet

   A   

He knows all the places that safely feed

     E                         A 

It's good to be a sheep of the Lord

He knows when I'm hurting and how to put it right

He knows how to lead so the journey's a delight

No matter how dark it gets he's better than a light

I fell very safe with the Lord

Rap unaccompanied with actions

    (fists)   (spread arms palm up)   (point to heaven) (point to the ground)

When bullies surround me the           Lord is on my     side

                     (eating)   (arms spread palms down)

He asks me 'round for dinner and spreads a feast out wide

                  (binoculars) (fists)         (hands over eyes)  

And next time they see me those bullies want to hide

               (clap hands on opposite shoulders) (point to heaven, guitar starts again on A)

They know I'm a friend of the                      Lord

A (for about one line's worth)

Thrash

The Lord is my shepherd and each and every day

He's awesomely forgiving in each and every way

I know his loving kindness and that's why I will stay

Forever in the house of the Lord
