Still Waters Know My Name | A Psalm 23 Neo-Folk Worship Song

There are prayers that sound like shouting…
And then there are prayers that sound like resting.

Still Waters Know My Name is a quiet neo-folk worship song inspired by Psalm 23 — written for the moments when your soul is tired, your heart feels small, and all you need is to be gently reminded that you are not alone.

This song lives in the space between firelight and moonlight.
Between breathing and believing.
Between fear and peace.

Psalm 23 is not only a passage of comfort — it is a declaration of belonging. It reminds us that we are not wandering the world unseen. We are shepherded. We are guided. We are known.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil…”
Not because life is easy — but because Love is present.

If you’re walking through a hard season…
If your faith feels quiet but real…
If your prayers feel more like whispers than words —
This song is for you.

Let it play like a river.
Let it rest your breathing.
Let it remind your soul who it is.

🕯️ Listen. Rest. Belong.

SONG LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I woke beneath a pale blue morning
With dust on my hands and fear in my chest
Every road I tried to follow
Turned into questions I couldn’t guess
But I heard Your whisper in the valley
Like wind in the cedar trees
Saying child don’t run from shadows
You were always meant to be seen

[Pre-Chorus]
I laid my worries in the tall grass
Let the silence hold my shame
And the earth began to answer
When I finally said Your name

[Chorus]
You lead me to the still waters
Where my soul remembers who I am
You quiet all my trembling
With Your open hands
Even in the darkest valley
I am never on my own
Still waters know my name
Still waters know my name

[Verse 2]
I’ve walked the edge of broken promises
Tried to stitch my heart with thread
But every scar I tried to hide
You crowned with light instead
Your mercy flows like morning rivers
Over stones I couldn’t move
You make a home in my breathing
You make a garden out of ruin

[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear that used to haunt me
Now lies down in holy ground
Every lie I once believed in
Falls apart when You’re around

[Chorus]
You lead me to the still waters
Where my soul remembers who I am
You quiet all my trembling
With Your open hands
Even in the darkest valley
I am never on my own
Still waters know my name
Still waters know my name

[Bridge]
If the night falls heavy on me
And the stars feel far away
I will trust the Shepherd’s shadow
Walking softly where I lay
Your rod and staff are writing mercy
On every mile I roam
You prepare a table in the wilderness
And call my wandering heart home

[Final Chorus]
You lead me to the still waters
Where my soul learns how to stand
You anoint my head with heaven
I am in Your plan
Surely goodness surely mercy
Will follow every road I go
Still waters know my name
Still waters know my name

[Outro]
I will dwell in Your forever
I will rest inside Your song
Still waters know my name
And I belong
