    Written by former Lake City resident George F. Haveman, The Ballad of the Bible is a moving non-denominational version of the holy text in modern English prose form.

    Donated to the library in 2004, The Ballad of the Bible has become a popular and well-loved addition to our fundraising catalogue.

    Ballad of the Bible Psalm 23:

    Because he is my shepherd I have all I need
    He lets me rest in meadow grass
    He leads me by a quiet stream
    I shall want for nothing for I know he is there
    He will restore my soul and his glory I will share
    The valley of the shadow hold no fear for me
    He prepares my table in the presence of my enemies
    He fills my cup with calm
    His mercy fills my life
    I'll dwell in him forever
    And have no inner strife
