Leanna Crawford – “Still Waters (Psalm 23)” Breakthrough Anthem Feature

It started with a woman named Maurine. Leanna Crawford’s great aunt, a missionary who began losing her sight in her 40s, decided to memorize the Bible — not just verses, but chapters, whole books. By the time she reached 103, she had scripture written on her heart like a map. That legacy became the spark behind “Still Waters,” a song Leanna wrote to carry that same peace into the chaos so many of us live with daily.

The song opens with a tribute: “Great Aunt Maurine said at a hundred and three / Write scripture on your heart for when you need it.” It’s not just a lyric. It’s a lifeline. And the scripture she chose to anchor the song? Psalm 23 — the passage that has comforted generations through grief, anxiety, and uncertainty. Leanna doesn’t just quote it. She inhabits it. “He leads me by still waters till my fears are gone.” That’s not just poetic. It’s personal.

I’ve had seasons where fear felt louder than faith. Where I couldn’t see the path forward, and peace felt like a distant memory. But this song reminded me that stillness isn’t weakness — it’s surrender. Psalm 23:2–3 says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul.” That restoration doesn’t come from striving. It comes from trust.

Leanna Crawford’s voice carries that trust with quiet strength. Her journey — from small-town Washington to Nashville stages — has always been marked by authenticity. She doesn’t sing to impress. She sings to invite. And “Still Waters” is an invitation to breathe again. To let go. To be led.

The bridge of the song echoes Psalm 23:4: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” But Leanna adds a twist — she sings it like someone who’s walked through that valley and found God waiting. Not just as a shepherd, but as a friend.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, regret, or the weight of waiting, let this song be your companion. Let it remind you that peace isn’t found in control — it’s found in surrender. That still waters aren’t just a metaphor — they’re a promise.

Leanna Crawford’s heartfelt single “Still Waters (Psalm 23),” from her album Rest in the Lord, is a soothing anthem of peace and trust — reminding listeners that God’s presence leads us gently, even through the darkest valleys.
