3 Psalm 23:
"The LORD is my shepherd; I
shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His
name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of My enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.

Lyrics played:
Don’t cry for me
Don’t shed a tear
I’ve been set free
No need to fear
God spoke to me
My time has come
He made a way to bring me home
I’m well within my soul
My pain is gone forever
Don’t cry for me
My body’s been made whole
Don’t cry for me
We’ll soon be back together
Don’t cry for me
I’m well within my soul
I saw the light
I took his hand
We flew on high
To a promised land
My soul lives on
To a better place
With all his glory
With all his grace
Don’t cry for me
My pain is gone forever
Don’t cry for me
My body has been made whole
Don’t cry for me
We’ll soon be back together
Don’t cry for me
I’m well within my soul.
My pain is gone
Please understand
My fussing? was in God’s great plan
I’m with you still each day and night
Just close your eyes
I’ll hold you tight
Don’t cry for me
My pain is gone forever
Don’t cry for me
I’m well within my soul
I wait for you at heaven door
We’ll meet again one day for sure
Don’t cry for me
My pain is gone forever
Don’t cry for me
My body has been made whole
Don’t cry for me
I’m well within my soul.
