Poem by Eugene L. Clark - "I Shall Not Want"


In poverty I wandered,
  A sheep outside the fold,
Until the shepherd found me
  And brought me wealth untold.

In want I sought for something
  To satisfy my soul,
Until the shepherd found me,
  Restored and made me whole.

I thirsted for some water,
  My soul to satisfy,
He showed me springs of water
  That never would run dry.

In hunger I was searching
  Through deserts dry and bare,
Until the shepherd showed me
  His pastures green and fair.

I shall not want, for Jesus is my shepherd.
  He leadeth me beside the waters still.
In pastures green, He gently makes me down to lie.
  I shall not want, for He my soul shall fill.
