Will You be my light, when I cannot see
When I can’t take another step, Lord, would You carry me
When I’ve lost my fight, will You be my strength
Will You set me a table in the presence of my enemies
I shall not want, I shall not want
Oh my soul’s got a shepherd in the valley and I shall not want
I shall not want, I shall not want
Cause my cup’s running over, running over
And I shall not want
I will lift my eyes to where my help comes from
And I won’t be afraid of the shadow cause I’ve seen the Sun
No I will not stop, when the way gets hard
Cause the green only grows in the valley and that’s where You are
I got goodness and I got mercy
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
I got goodness and I got mercy
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
I got goodness and I got mercy
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
The Good Shepherd leads me to the waters
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
He anoints me, anoints me with His oil
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
Now my cup is, my cup is running over
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
I won’t fear, no, fear no evil
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
I will dwell in His house forever
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelu, glory hallelujah
When this life is over, I'm gonna live again
Gonna trade this cross for a crown
No, this is not the end
When You call my name, I will take my rest
There’s a mansion in glory and You’re gonna meet me there
I shall not want, I shall not want
He will wipe every tear from my eyes
I shall not want
I shall not want, I shall not want
I’ll be home in His presence forever
I shall not want
For the Lord is my shepherd
And I shall not want
