Our Psalm 23
Our Psalm 23
There are seasons in life when we find ourselves walking through the valley of the shadow of death. We took the nuts and the bolts of Psalm 23 and made it our own - a chant for the time.

VERSE 2
When the world is filled with chaos
And our hopes and dreams feel like a memory
We will rest in your protection
When our faith is tested, you’re our covering
Our justice and our peace
We may rise, we may fall
You’re our strength through it all
Why should we fear when we know you’re near
