Original poetry of Ken Pullen using text (in Italics) from the King James Version of the Holy Bible
Thy Rod and Thy Staff Comfort Me
The Lord is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
Only God, only God, Only God alone
I place Thee above all else
if I had the world and not Thee it would not be enough
for my soul would ever want
with Thee uppermost in my soul
my heart
my mind
my bones
my spirit
I am lacking nothing
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside still waters
I follow my Shepherd
being still
being quiet
He provides my all
Only God, only God, only God alone!
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
My Shepherd guides me
instructs me
refreshes, restores, protects, provides all for me
Only Thee, only Thee, Only Thee who died on Calgary
to conquer death, fulfill the Promise
Christ the Lord, Jesus Christ
Son of God
Son of man
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me.
Flesh to become dust
flesh to die at life’s end
whatever measure of days
all flesh perishes due to sin
yet, I, with eyes upwards
the Lord inward, outward, upward, downward
in everything, out of everything
above everything
below everything
I fear nothing of any man upon this earth
no nation
no evil or action
for
Only God, only God, only God alone
watches ‘or me provides every breath
each beat of heart
my soul soars
under protective wings Jehovah unfurls
Thy rod and Thy staff do comfort me, reprove me, chastise me
refine me, prune me to bear fruit
instruct me in Thy ways
Oh Lord may I follow Thee, only Thee, only Thee
Risen Lord the third day conquering death’s sting bearing my sin on Calvary
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness
and mercy
shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
…they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk and not faint.
…I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength,
and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet,
and He will make me to walk upon mine high places.
Only God, only God, only God alone
is all I need!
I shall follow Thee, my Shepherd
all the days of my life
Only Thee, only Thee, only Thee alone!
