A Song In Our Heart
PSALM 23 – SURELY GOODNESS, SURELY MERCY (a song to fill our hearts with)
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want
In green pastures He makes me lie down
He restores my soul and leads me on for His name
For His great name
Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name
-Shane and Shane, lyrics from “Psalm 23 (Surely Goodness, Surely Mercy)”
Looking for a great way to wrap up Psalms 23 inside your heart?! How bout a song?? Shane and Shane has one for you! A calming melody filled with lyrics that stir up the comforting words found in a beloved Psalm is what Psalm 23 (Surely Goodness, Surely Mercy) is all about.
David wrote Psalms 23 in tribute to our Great Shepherd. In the Psalm, David describes God’s care and love towards His children, and this song reiterates what we read in the Scripture passage. Just like David, Shane and Shane’s song sends out a message to us all…
God is good, God is merciful, and because of this we can say, “I’ll trust you Lord!“, with confidence.
It’s a comforting and exciting feeling to hear Scripture being sung. Songs like Psalm 23 touch a special place in my heart! They stir up reminders of moments I’ve had over the years with such verses and it makes me smile. The lyrics stick, stir up heartwarming emotions, and have a heart bursting with joy.
Let’s fill our hearts with this song believing…
God is so good to us! He takes care of us, keeping us safe in His shelter.
Friends, our Father in Heaven offers a rest that restores our souls. As our Great Shepherd, He’s watching over us, protecting us, and providing for us! We can stand firm in our faith, believing wholeheartedly, that God’s goodness and mercy will see us through, because He leads us on. Our Mighty Father is right beside us all of our days!
AND…as Believers, we get to dwell in His house forever, and we can confidently say, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”
Allow the calm this song brings drape over you.
Draw nearer to God today!

Rest in His good and merciful presence.
