Through The Valley (original Christian R&B) ~psalm23

Contemporary Christian rhythm and blues Psalm 23 Through The Valley ⸻ Verse 1 (Scripture echo) “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Her response) Yet here I lie awake, my body tired, my heart unsure (Scripture echo) “He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters” (Her response) I close my eyes, imagining peace, a gentle river for my soul Chorus “You restore my soul” — I whisper through the pain “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” — I tremble, yet remain “Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” — and I feel a hand I cannot see In the darkest night, Your promises hold me faithfully Verse 2 (Scripture echo) “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies” (Her response) My sickness looms like giants, but still I taste Your grace (Scripture echo) “You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows” (Her response) I cling to that overflowing hope, even as fear presses close Chorus “You restore my soul” — I whisper through the pain “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” — I tremble, yet remain “Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” — and I feel a hand I cannot see In the darkest night, Your promises hold me faithfully Bridge / Revelation (Her realization) And then I see, this valley is Your perfect will Not punishment, not neglect, but love that carries me still (Scripture echo) “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” (Her response) I lift my heart in thanks, held in mercy, held in light I am in Your hands, and here I will abide Chorus / Outro “You restore my soul” — I whisper through the pain “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” — I tremble, yet remain “Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” — and I feel a hand I cannot see In the hardest night, Your promises hold me, steady, faithfully #creatnothate #lyricistlounge # lyricist #hippydippy57 Copyright Notice: “© 2025 Robin Wilkins / Robinsong Ministries.
