Read on for lyrics, and to learn more about Aaron and “Twenty Three”:
I wrote this song while serving kids in Ireland. It’s a Psalm of provision in the midst of hard circumstance and so it spoke to the kids and speaks to me. – Aaron
Lyrics:
Arise Oh Lord
Lift up Your eyes
Don’t forget I’m helpless
Oh You lead me to waters and pastures so green
Oh You pour out Your oil and choose goodness and mercy for me
No I will not be in want
You’re with me
I will not fear
You comfort me
I will not fear
