The 23rd

Based on Psalm 23.  This could work in almost any worship experience between songs.  Feel free to make it for whatever amount of readers you have. 

Reader #1: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.


Reader #2:
 He supplies everything that I need.

Reader #3: There is no void that He cannot fill.

Reader #4: No sickness He can’t heal.

Reader #2: For He is my source.

Reader #1: He makes me lie down in green pastures,

Reader #2: I can rest because He is my security.

Reader #4: I can lie down in peace.

Reader #1: He leads me beside quiet waters,

Reader #3: As the deer pants for water, so my soul longs for Him.

Reader #2: I drink from the fountain of living water.

Reader #4: It is a peace that the world cannot give.

Reader #3: He is my peace and my provider.

Reader #1: He restores my soul.

Reader #2: Often in times of heartache and disillusionment I’ve doubted Him. Some days I forget Him. And yet, He still cares for me.

Reader #1: He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Reader #3: He is my compass, He is my lighthouse, He is my Light and my Salvation. And the greatest mystery of all is this . . .

Reader #1: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;

Reader #2: God is Emmanuel. He is with us.

Reader #1: Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Reader #4: I am comforted by Your discipline. I am being intimately led by a loving Shepherd.

Reader #1: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

Reader #3: You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Reader #2: Surely goodness

Reader #1: and mercy

Reader #4: shall follow me

Reader #3: all the days

Reader #2: every day.

Reader #4: He shall not leave me or forsake me.

Reader #3: He will lead me to His kingdom at the moment I draw my last breath.

Reader #1: His word is true.

Reader #2: He is faithful.

All: All the days of my life.
