The 23rd Psalm--Church of the Messiah, Toronto

Church of the Messiah (Anglican) in Toronto, Canada presents The 23rd Psalm composed by Bobby McFerrin. Conducted by Matthew Tran-Adams, the Director of Music and Liturgical Arts.


Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need,
She makes me lie down in green meadows,
Beside the still waters, She will lead.

She restores my soul, She rights my wrongs,
She leads me in a path of good things,
And fills my heart with songs.

Even though I walk, through a dark and dreary land,
There is nothing that can shake me,
She has said She won't forsake me,
I'm in her hand.

She sets a table before me, in the presence of my foes,
She anoints my head with oil,
And my cup overflows.

Surely, surely goodness and kindness will follow me,
All the days of my life,
And I will live in her house,
Forever, forever and ever.

Glory be to our Mother, and Son,
And to the Holy of Holies,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
World, without end. Amen

Bobby McFerrin's mother is an Episcopalian/Anglican and I am lucky to attend the same church she does in Southern Cal.
