Opening Song:Psalm 23 (Surely Goodness and Mercy) by Shane Barnard Lyrics:The Lord is my shepherd I shall not wantIn green pastures He makes me lie downHe restores my soul and leads me onFor His name for His great nameSurely goodness surely mercyRight beside me all my daysAnd I will dwell in Your house foreverAnd bless Your holy nameYou prepare a table right before meIn the presence of my enemiesThough the arrow flies and the terror of nightIs at my door I'll trust You LordAnd even though I walk through the valleyOf the shadow of death I will fear no evil(And) even though I walk through the valleyOf the shadow of death You are on my side (oh)Passage: 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.(Psalm Musical Reflection: Jesus Loves Me by William B. BradburyReflection Notes: This sweet and familiar song was written in 1861 for the composer’s church school and has become a favorite because of the warm reminders associated with its text: “Jesus loves me, this I know.” Prayer:O Lord, show Your mercy to me and gladden my heart… I am like the sheep that went astray. O Good Shepherd, seek me out and bring me home in accord with Your will. Let me dwell in Your house all the days of my life and praise You for ever and ever with those who are there. Amen.-Jerome
