PSALM23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul ; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk throught the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

A precious one from us has gone. A voice we love is stilled,
A place is vacant in our heartswhich never can be filled
And after a lonely heartache and many a silent tear,
But always a beautiful memory of one we love so dear.
