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
Leanna Crawford’s performance brings the scripture to life. Her voice and the lyrics together make the message of Psalm 23 even more powerful.

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
Leanna Crawford’s ‘Still Waters’ reminds us that God’s peace is always available. As we listen, let these words bring us the assurance that our Shepherd is with us, leading us beside still waters and restoring our souls.
