The Lord is my Shepherd

I am the king of kings. 

I can do most anything. 

I can make the blue skies turn to grey. 

 

I am the super king. 

I’m up for everything. 

I can make the big cars go away. 

 

The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want. 

The Lord is your shepherd, and you shall not talk. 

 

I am the king of kings. 

I won’t let the devil in. 

I’ll keep out the bad, and let love win. 

 

The good Lord has chocolate skin. 

He has some practice in 

loving you, and leaving out the sin. 

 

The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want. 

The Lord is your shepherd, and you shall not talk. 

 

He made the beasts of the forest 

and the fish in the sea. 

He made the trees and the fruits in them. 

He made bushes and flowers and birds. 

Last of all, He made man in his own image 

and let him name the animals. 

And, though the names were wrong, 

He allowed the names to stay 

because man was the least favoured of all His creations. 

 

You’re asking to be free. 

Are you asking to be free? 

He knows beyond. 

It’s been unlocked.
