Tommy L. Hastings Sr.

Posted

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He Leadeth me beside the still waters; He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
