Tenielle Neda’s ‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’ Offers a Soulful Glimpse Into Divine Love
In the quiet, unassuming moments of motherhood—between sleepless nights and the hum of daily life—singer-songwriter Tenielle Neda found inspiration for her breathtaking new single, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” Hailing from remote Western Australia, the mother of three crafts music that feels both intimate and universal, born from the raw, tender spaces of faith and family. The song, lifted from her forthcoming debut album The Way of Love, began as a whispered prayer into her phone while feeding her daughter, its melody and lyrics flowing effortlessly as she meditated on Psalm 23. Recorded in a single live take amidst the chaos of moving boxes in her children’s room, the track is a testament to God’s presence in life’s messiest, most sacred moments.
Tenielle’s voice, both delicate and powerful, carries a profound sincerity as she sings of God’s unwavering care. “The song came as a prayer from the overflow of my heart—a heart longing for and reveling in the tender, fatherly love and goodness of God,” she shares. Producer Jon Guerra (known for his work with The Porter’s Gate) beautifully layers the track with ethereal instrumentation, transforming a simple voice memo into a rich, worshipful experience. The result is a song that doesn’t just speak about God’s love but embodies it—a gentle reminder that even in exhaustion, His grace is enough.
With The Way of Love, Tenielle Neda invites listeners into a journey of divine affection, each song a reflection of God’s relentless, nurturing love. Featuring collaborations with artists like Rothbury, Eliza King, and Nick Chambers, the album is a tapestry of faith, hope, and devotion. As she prepares to bring these songs to stages in Perth and the U.S. later this year, Tenielle’s prayer is simple yet profound: “May these songs draw hearts closer to the love of Christ, awakening a deeper longing for Him and empowering us to love others as He first loved us.” For those seeking music that resonates with both the soul and the Spirit, “The Lord Is My Shepherd” is just the beginning. Listen now—and let the journey begin.
