The Lord is our Shepherd,
we shall not want.
For He shall give us Peace
in our Nation once more.

He maketh us to lie down
in green pastures.
He leadeth us beside
the still waters,
where we shall feel safe
from terrorism.

He restoreth our souls
and the damage done
to this city.

He leadeth us in the
paths of righteousness
for His name sake.
Where the ungodly cannot go.

Yea, though we walk through
the valley of the shadow
of death,
we shall fear no evil
for Thou art with us.
Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort us,
from ever being
attacked again!

Thou preparest a table for us
in the presence of our enemies.
Thou anointest our heads with oil.
Our cup runneth over,
for terrorism shall be no more.

Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow us
all the days of our lives,
for this Nation shall
prevail.

and we shall dwell
in the house of the Lord
forever!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
