Rest, given by the shepherd
under his protection
into that green pasture
by the waters, living waters
clear, pure, calling our spirits
Peace within us
within our beating hearts
abundant grace
flowing over me, over
my head, down my beard, my collar
washing me clean,
to that place of rest
Walking beside, following the shepherd
through our journey of fait
once we too have heard His call
answered his offer of life
cleaving to our maker,
our savior, our all
resting where he leads
into the fields
by the still waters

Psalm 23 (King James Version)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 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.
5 Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
