You Are My Shepherd
A New Hymn/Anthem/Vocal Solo By Gloria Fanchiang In 2018, I wrote a comforting melody during a difficult and uncertain time of transition in my life. I intended to turn the tune into a song, but it wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic that I was inspired to create a setting of Psalm 23 with that melody. The result was the song “You Are My Shepherd,” released as a recording in early 2023. The music draws from my classical music background, and I had the pleasure of collaborating with Keiko Ying, who added a moving cello part. As a society, especially since the pandemic, we need much comfort and rest, which I hope this song can offer to listeners and worshippers. “You Are My Shepherd” can be used throughout the year, including the Lenten season, as we journey with Christ through the valley of the shadow of death.

Verse 1 You are my Shepherd You are my Shepherd I shall not want, shall not want You lead me forward Providing for me I have no reason to fear Chorus Though I journey through the valley Of the shadow of death You are with me Offering comfort In the presence of my enemies Your blessing unfolds You anoint me You restore me Verse 2 Your lovingkindness Your lovingkindness Shall follow me all my days My cup runs over My cup runs over And I shall dwell in your house forever Amen ■
