Psalm 23 and How Great Thou Art

I shared a couple of years ago about the best advice I received on preparing for birth is memorizing a Psalm and a hymn. Today I simply want to share my Psalm and Hymn with you. I pray you can use them or that they may inspire you in finding the best Psalm and Hymn for you.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want

He makes me lie down in green pastures

He leads me beside quiet waters

He restores my soul

He guides me in paths of righteousness for His Name sake

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil for You are with me

Your rod and Your staff they comfort me

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies

You anoint my head with oil

My cup overflows

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made

I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou Art

How great Thou Art

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou Art

How great Thou Art

And When I think that God His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die I scarce can take it in

That on the cross my burden gladly bearing 

He bled and died to take away my sin

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take me home what joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

And there proclaim, "My God how great Thou art"!
