"The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 23)" Sheet Music by Stuart Townend

Psalm 23 in the Bible is one of the most revered pieces of scripture. It is one that is often sought for comfort, peace, and reassurance that God is always guiding us. As Stuart Townend sees it, there is a lot of “movement imagery” found throughout the entire psalm. Life is a movement, isn’t it?

We move through life with all of its hardships and obstacles. We stumble and we make mistakes. But no matter what, The Lord’s My Shepherd (Psalm 23) reminds us that we are all welcome to God’s mercy that will allow us to feel whole again. The chorus of Townend’s piece reminds us of all of this:

And I will trust in You alone,

And I will trust in You alone,

For Your endless mercy follows me,

Your goodness will lead me home.
