Psalm23 Stories

The Word of God

This was in an email, from one of the many websites I subscribe to, a list of nine Psalms for Sunday school teachers to share with their youth group. The Scripture included will be from Bible Oremus New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition, copyright © 1989, 1995 National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

My favourite piece of writing I've done so far - intended to have an ending of hope and peace. It won the annual Ursula Moray Williams Writing Competition 2010

Step into "Ashes of Grace," a soul-stirring Christian anthem that traces a journey from the ashes of despair to redemption through Christ's boundless love. With haunting verses reflecting "hell's unyielding fire," a triumphant chorus proclaiming "I rise, I rise!," and a spoken Psalm 23 moment of divine comfort, this song weaves a tapestry of heavy rock intensity, gospel choir harmonies, and spiritual depth. Set at 80 BPM in A minor and C major, this 5-minute masterpiece comes with detailed production notes and an envisioned oil painting artwork-a lone figure in a red robe raising arms to a glowing cross under a fiery stormy sky, surrounded by a choir. 
This isn't just a song-it's a testimony of faith, crafted for worship settings or epic stages. The production notes guide a cinematic sound with gritty riffs and soaring vocals, while the artwork captures the journey's spiritual climax. Whether you're a musician inspired by the redemptive arc or a producer ready to shape this vision, let's connect and see where the Spirit leads us with "Ashes of Grace"!
