  • The Lord is my Shepherd (That’s Relationship!)
  • I shall not want (That’s Supply!)
  • He maketh me to lie down in green pastures (That’s Rest!)
  • He leadeth me beside the still waters (That’s Refreshment!)
  • He restoreth my soul (That’s Healing!)
  • He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness (That’s Guidance!)
  • For His name’s sake (That’s Purpose!)
  • Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (That’s Testing!)
  • I will fear no evil (That’s Protection!)
  • For Thou art with me (That’s Faithfulness!)
  • Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me (That’s Discipline!)
  • Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (That’s Hope!)
  • Thou annointest my head with oil (That’s Consecration!)
  • My cup runneth over (That’s Abundance!)
  • Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life (That’s Blessing!)
  • And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (That’s Security!)
  • Forever (That’s Eternity!)
