Why do I still want you?

PSALMS:23 THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT WANT, HE
MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES, HE LEADETH ME
BESIDE THE STILL WATERS. HE RESTORETH MY SOUL, HE LEADETH
ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME SAKE.
YEA,THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DEATH I WILL FEAR
NO EVIL. FOR THOU ART WITH ME,THY ROD AND THY STAFF THEY
COMFORT ME. 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.


The Chely Wright version is below ( This is my song for the
evening)

I remember playing this loud.. in Mikes room when I lived
there..

It's called Why Do I Still Want You

There's an old tear stained, worn King James
Bible on my lab
I can hear mama now say it won't let you down
And it never has
So I turned to the Psalms straight to the one
That I can quote by heart
But the words that used to comfort me
Are tearing me apart

He leadeth me through death's dark valley
And by still waters too
Surely goodness and his mercy
Are gonna pull me through
But tonight I've wrestled with the devil
Wrestled with the truth
If the Lord is my shepherd
And I shall not want
Why do I still want you

All my friends say this will end
You're not the one I need
'Cause I'm the kind that loves for life
And you're the kind that leaves
So I've been praying and I've been waiting
For some kind of peace
But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on
Old Psalms twenty three

He leadeth me through death's dark valley
And by still waters too
Surely goodness and his mercy
Are gonna pull me through
But tonight I've wrestled with the devil
Wrestled with the truth
If the Lord is my shepherd
And I shall not want
Why do I still want you

Yeah tonight I've wrestled with the devil
Wrestled with the truth
If the Lord is my shepherd
And I shall not want
Why do I still want you
