Lyrics
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
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
O 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
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
Oh 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
O 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
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
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
Oh 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
O 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

Story Behind The Song
“Still Waters (Psalm 23)” by Leanna Crawford draws deeply from the timeless words of Psalm 23, offering listeners a musical reminder of God’s peace amid life’s uncertainties. Inspired by a piece of wisdom from Leanna’s great-aunt — “Write Scripture on your heart… ’Cause anxiety hates Psalm 23” — the song invites us to hold God’s promises close when fear and stress arise.
What makes this song so powerful is its blend of heartfelt comfort and personal testimony. Still Waters doesn’t just echo Scripture; it emboldens you to speak God’s truth over your own life, trusting the Shepherd who leads us beside quiet waters and restores our souls. It’s a soothing anthem for anyone who needs reassurance that, no matter the valley they walk through, God’s presence and peace are constant and real.
