Brian Simmons, from The Passion Translation,
“Like a shepherd goes before his sheep, I go before you to lead into the place of rest. Near the flowing brooks of bliss I will take you and comfort you in my love. I am the loving Shepherd at your side. You will never need to fear when I am near. In the coming days you will know why I have led you here. You will understand the perfection of my ways. Stay close to me and your heart will delight in all that I reveal to you. Keep your eyes fixed on me and I will never disappoint you! Lay your head upon my chest and rest in me.”
He offers a resting place for me
In his luxurious love.
His tracks take me to an oasis of peace,
The quiet brook of bliss.
That’s where he restores and revives my life.
He opens before me pathways to God’s pleasure,
And leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness,
So that I can bring honor to his Name.
Psalm 23:2-3 The Passion Translation
