Music Monday: "Still Waters"

This song was released last fall, and I have enjoyed it a lot. At times, Leanna Crawford reminds me of Amy Grant. Leanna was a part of the group called "All Sons and Daughters," if you're familiar with them. I enjoy the truths in this song, and the idea that "Anxiety hates Psalm 23." I also like any song that puts Scripture to music. It reminds me of my blog's theme: "Thy Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

"Still Waters" by Leanna Crawford

Great Aunt Maurine said at a hundred and three
"Write scripture on your heart for when you need it
Cause anxiety hates Psalm 23
So just say it to yourself ‘til you believe it"
And I’m feeling like I’m needing it right now 

Chorus 1
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He leads me by still waters
‘Til my fears are gone
Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
Oh, I know You are with me
My Father, my friend


Your goodness and mercy
Will follow me all of my days
I know by Your still waters I’m safe

Verse 2
Lord, I believe You can set me at ease
Turn this broken piece in me to peace and quiet
I know there’s power in Your word
So I’ll say it over and over til my soul’s reminded

Chorus 2
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He leads me by still waters
‘Til my fears are gone
Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
Oh, I know You are with me
My Father, my friend
Your goodness and mercy
Will follow me all of my days
I know by Your still waters I’m safe

Bridge 1
Still waters run through
Any valley I could find
I’m laying fear down
Here at Heaven’s riverside
Your word has been true
In every season of my life
I believe, yes I believe

Bridge 2
Still waters run through
Any valley I could find
I’m laying fear down
Here at Heaven’s riverside
Your word has been true
In every season of my life
I believe, yes I believe

REPEAT CHORUS 1

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside still waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.


You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
