The Lord is my fly fishing guide; I shall not wander.
He makes me to walk beside the cool, flowing mountain
streams; He shows me the deep, tranquil pools.
He renews my weary soul; he accompanies me to a
myriad of rivers so that I may experience His creation.
Yea, though I might not catch fish, I will not be
discouraged; for that is not always my aim; the
beauty of His scenery is what comforts me.
Thou has blessed me with a rich heritage of mentors
who have encouraged me in the pure bliss of this
wonderful sport; my thankful heart overflows.
Surely His goodness and His mercy shall follow me
with each fishing trip all the days of my life;
and I will always wade in His waters forever.
