There's Peace and Calm in the 23rd Psalm With the lord as "your Shepherd" You have all that you need
For, If you "Follow in his footsteps" Where he may lead,
He will guard and guide And keep you in his loving watchful care,
And when traveling in "Dark Valleys" Your Shepherd will be there His goodness is unfailing His Kindness knows no end,
For the Lord is a " Good Shepherd" On whom you can depend
So, when your heart is trouble You' ll find quiet peace and calm
If you open up your Bible And just read this Treasured Psalm.
Your Aunt, (A NEE)
