[Intro] (Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm deep synth pads, a light shaker) [Verse 1] (LEAD VOCAL (warm, intimate, like a confession)) He is my shepherd, I lack nothing He makes me lie down in green pastures He leads me beside quiet waters He refreshes my soul [Chorus] (QUARTET (SATB, close, soft harmonies, like a comforting murmur)) He guides me along the right paths For his name’s sake (LEAD VOCAL (joins the quartet)) He guides me along the right paths For his name’s sake [Verse 2] (LEAD VOCAL (with a veil of drama)) Even though I walk through the darkest valley I will fear no evil, for you are with me Your rod and your staff They comfort me [Chorus] (QUARTET (SATB, fuller harmonies, but still restrained)) He guides me along the right paths For his name’s sake (LEAD VOCAL (joins the quartet)) He guides me along the right paths For his name’s sake [Bridge] (QUARTET (Soprano and Tenor to the fore, sweet harmonies)) You prepare a table before me In the presence of my enemies (QUARTET (All voices, gaining a touch of joy)) You anoint my head with oil My cup overflows [Verse 3] (LEAD VOCAL (conclusive, full of certainty)) Surely your goodness and love will follow me All the days of my life (QUARTET (enters, supporting the voice)) And I will dwell in His house (ALL) Forever. [Outro] (Music fades, only "a cappella" voices or a distant piano remain) (QUARTET (whispered, dissolving harmonies)) Goodness and love... will follow me... All the days... I will dwell... in His house... Forever... (Silence)
