WHERE THE STILL WATERS RUN | Psalm 23 Christian Gospel Song

Find rest in God's care with WHERE THE STILL WATERS RUN, an original Psalm 23 bluegrass gospel song about laying down the pressure to do more and trusting the Lord as your Shepherd. With rolling banjo, acoustic guitar and gentle dobro, this Appalachian gospel ballad follows a worn-out man from an unfinished woodpile to quiet waters and a place at the table. The work is still there, but he begins to understand that his worth is not measured by how much he can accomplish. Inspired by Psalm 23:1–3 and 5–6, this Christian song reflects on rest, restoration, God's provision and the goodness that follows us through our days. For anyone who struggles to stop working or feels they must earn the right to rest. Subscribe to Bluegrass Worship for more Scripture-inspired bluegrass gospel and Christian country songs.

The supper cooled; I stayed outside, With one more chore to hide behind. I thought that rest was something earned When every field and furrow turned. But every time the work was through, I'd find another thing to do. [Chorus] Where the still waters run, I can leave some work undone. You don't ask these weary hands To hold the world the way Yours can. You're my Shepherd; I am free To rest while You watch over me. [Verse 2] Down by the creek beyond the mill, I sat and let my hands lie still. The water slipped around the stones; I brought You more than tired bones. I brought the fear of falling short, Of being worth what I could pour From empty hands into each day. You gave me room to stop and stay. [Chorus] Where the still waters run, I can leave some work undone. You don't ask these weary hands To hold the world the way Yours can. You're my Shepherd; I am free To rest while You watch over me. [Bridge] You spread a table in my need; I came with nothing but a seat. My cup ran over with Your care; I had no wage to earn me there. [Final Chorus] Where the still waters run, I can leave some work undone. You don't ask these weary hands To hold the world the way Yours can. You're my Shepherd; I am free To rest while You watch over me. [Outro] Your goodness follows all my days. There's room for me within Your grace. #BluegrassGospel #Psalm23 #ChristianCountry #BluegrassWorship
