Doug Deforest's 'Still Waters (Beverly's Song)' is a soul-stirring Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) composition that beautifully captures the ebb and flow of life through the metaphor of a mountain stream. The song's profound lyrics remind listeners that life, much like a river, can be both gentle and turbulent, but there's an undercurrent of faith that guides us through it all.
The song's inspiration reflects the idea of something greater guiding us through life's challenges. As the lyrics suggest, life's journey can resemble a raging river, yet there's a sense of safety and solace in the belief that faith carries us through even the most tumultuous times.
The song's bridge powerfully describes the turbulence of life's canyons and how, ultimately, these challenges lead to a place of tranquility.
'Still Waters (Beverly's Song)' is a testament to the power of original inspiration. Composed one morning around 3 AM, in a driving rainstorm between Houston Texas and Dallas Texas, the writer heard that all too familiar 'get a pen' voice in his head. He pulled over and had his wife jot down these words, and he has never changed any of the words since then. An original thought from a Power only the writer could know at the time. That of the One who writes words that NEVER need to be changed.
Still Waters (Beverly's Song)' encourages listeners to embrace faith, even when facing life's uncertainties, and trust that there's a higher power guiding them to a place of serenity.
