Natalie

I walked through the deepest valleys, carrying the shame

Depression and molestation tried to steal my name

Numbing out the ache with drugs, fading in the night

But You reached into my darkness, pulled me to the light

You took the broken pieces that the world had thrown away

And walked me through the shadows to see a brand new day

The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need

By the quiet, still waters, You restore the soul in me

Even through the valley of death, I will fear no wrong

You prepared a table for me, right where I belong

My heart is finally healing, my spirit has been freed

The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need

You call me by my name, Natalie, and teach me something new

You made me patient, funny, caring—reflecting back to You

I finally finished up my school, diploma in my hand

Guided by Your rod and staff, I'm standing where You planned

I look back at the mountains that You helped me overcome

And thank You for the woman that I have now become

The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need

By the quiet, still waters, You restore the soul in me

Even through the valley of death, I will fear no wrong

You prepared a table for me, right where I belong

My heart is finally healing, my spirit has been freed

The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need

My cup is overflowing, Your oil is on my head

You took away the ashes and gave me life instead

Surely goodness and mercy will follow all my days

I will dwell inside Your house, forever giving praise

From the bottom of the pit to the presence of the King

You gave me back my future, You gave me a song to sing

'Cause the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need

By the quiet, still waters, You restore the soul in me

Even through the valley of death, I will fear no wrong

You prepared a table for me, right where I belong

Yes, my heart is finally healing, my spirit has been freed

The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need
