[Opening – Whispered Invocation] (soft sopranos, distant organ drone) “The Lord is my Shepherd… I shall not want…” (echoing, as if carried by the cathedral’s arches) [Verse 1 – Gentle Pastoral] (choir in unison, strings shimmering) He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul with peace. In green pastures I find shelter, His mercy shall never cease. [Chorus – Radiant Cathedral Burst] (full choir, brass and timpani swell) The Shepherd walks with me, Through shadowed valleys deep. His rod and staff, they comfort me, His promises I keep. [Verse 2 – Intimate Reflection] (solo tenor, answered by choir whispers) Though I walk through the night, I will fear no harm. For His light is my guide, His hand my calm. [Bridge – Symphonic Ascension] (choir divides into soaring harmonies, strings and harp rising) Goodness and mercy follow me, All the days of my life. And I will dwell in His house, Forever in His light. [Final Chorus – Celestial Release] (choir + full orchestra, cathedral bells ringing faintly) The Shepherd is my song, My soul shall never stray. In His eternal presence, I rise at break of day. [Outro – Ambient Benediction] (choir fades into whispers, organ sustains, faint sound of flowing water) “The Lord is my Shepherd… forever…”
