The Lord is my Shepherd (Psalm 23)

The track opens with sparse piano and warm organ swells, launching into a gospel soul hook backed by rich choir harmonies, Verses strip back to steady hip hop drums, understated bass, and atmospheric keys, giving space for meditative rap flows before returning to the choir-driven chorus

V4.5-ALL

[HOOK (Gospel-like / Singable)]
The Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid
He gathers the lambs and He carries the strayed
Goodness and mercy are followin’ me
He leads me in peace, He restores and He frees
The Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid
He gathers the lambs and He carries the strayed
[RAP VERSE 1 (Jeremiah 23:1-5 + Ezekiel 34:2-16 themes)]
Woe to the shepherds who scatter the flock
Who feed on the weakest and pad up their stock
The Lord sees the wounded they choose to neglect
He rises in justice, He comes to protect
He searches the pasture, He calls every name
He binds up the broken, He lifts up the lame
The fat and the proud, He will humble their stance
And lead the forgotten back into His hands
A Branch will be raised up, a King who will reign
In righteousness, mercy, and healing the pain
No power or ruler can stand in His way
He gathers His people and teaches His way
[HOOK]
The Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid
He gathers the lambs and He carries the strayed
Goodness and mercy are followin’ me
He leads me in peace, He restores and He frees
The Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid
He gathers the lambs and He carries the strayed
[RAP VERSE 2 (John 10 + Luke 15:4-6 themes)]
He’s calling His sheep and they know His voice
The thief comes to scatter, the Shepherd restores
He lays down His life, it’s a love that remains
He knows every burden and heals every chain
If one goes wandering far from the fold
He goes to the mountain, the river, the cold
He finds them in darkness and lifts them to stand
Rejoicing to carry them home in His hands
The angels are singing the joy of return
The Shepherd is celebrating love that won’t burn
No shadow or valley is greater than grace
He runs to embrace us and brightens our face
[HOOK (build / final)]
The Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid
He gathers the lambs and He carries the strayed
Goodness and mercy are followin’ me
He leads me in peace, He restores and He frees
The Lord is my Shepherd, I won’t be afraid
He gathers the lambs and He carries the strayed
[BRIDGE (Revelation 7:17 + 1 Peter 2:25)]
The Lamb is our Shepherd, He wipes every tear
He leads to the waters where hope reappears
We once had wandered, but now we are found
Returned to the Shepherd, on holy ground
