My Shepherd Leads Me

 My Shepherd leads me deep into the woods,
my senses gently awakened by the smell of pine and the sound of crunching leaves.
He brings me to sit with Him beside a babbling brook,
the sound of the water washes over my weary soul.
I am reminded that He leads me on the paths of righteousness,
and He does indeed restore my soul.
