My Everything
1 min read
From the archive. I write now at Ready by Dawn on Substack.
This is a song I wrote some time ago that was inspired from the Psalms.
In reading the Psalms, I love the rawness of emotions in relating to God. Words of desperation, words of humility, words of ecstatic praise all urge me to cry out, “God, You are my everything!” And so that’s what this song is about- it’s a ringing chorus of some of the message of the Psalms.
Enjoy!

My Everything
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
I shall not want
He leads me to pastures
and my heart’s bliss
is where He is
Chorus:
My God You are
My Everything
My everything
The Lord is my shelter
I shall not fear
I shall not fear
Though a thousand falls beside me
the Lord upholds me
for the Lord is for me
Chorus
Bridge:
I will not fear the snare of my enemy
the Lord is my light and my salvation!
wherever I go he’s always there with me
sing out, my soul, sing out to the rock they
rejected has become my foundation!
and His word will pass nor ever fade away…
