A Christian Poem
and a Watercolor

This Christian poem is a deeply personal response to Psalm 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."KJV

‘Through the Valley’ Watercolor 22x30"

and fearful as a child, I lost that fear completely when I discovered who I belonged to.

I hope that this example of Christian poetry,
combined with the watercolor painting,
will calm your fears
and strengthen your walk with God.

The medium of watercolor worked perfectly for me, with its fluid transparency. Watercolor helps convey a sense of immediacy.The work must be quickly executed to retain its freshness.

Through the Valley

For every sheep
there comes a call

Trust the Shepherd
Above all

Take the step
While weak within

One step
Though all grow quickly dim

Demons rage,
threats loom tall

One step of trust,
One step is all

Your faith unlocks a mystery
It brings His presence instantly

His staff so fierce, His wrath not small
Demons at His bidding crawl

Waver not,
He thought you fit

Walk bravely through
the path is lit

Take the step that’s bolder still
Fearless now, it is His will

For your Shepherd, it is He
Who owns the hill, and this valley.
