Calmer of the Storm
Down Here Lyrics

When everything is wrong
In times of trouble and chaos

The day has passed and nothing's done
When the day has gone by unproductively

And the whole world seems against me
When feeling unsupported and alone

When I'm rolling in my bed, there's a storm in my head
When feeling troubled in one's thoughts

I'm afraid of sinking in despair.
Fearful of falling into a state of hopelessness

Teach me, Lord to have faith
Requesting guidance in having faith

In what you're bringing me will
Believing that God's will is bringing something important

Change my life and bring you glory
For God's will to change one's life and glorify Him

There on the storm I am learning to let go
Learning to have faith through difficulty

Of the will that I so long to control
Releasing the desire to control everything

There may I be in your arms eternally
Finding comfort and security in God's embrace

I thank you, Lord, you are the calmer of the storm.
Gratitude towards God for providing peace amidst chaos

You rebuke the wind and the waves
Acknowledging God's power to control natural elements

Once again I find I'm amazed, the power of your will
Continued awe towards God's will and power

'Cause I'm a child of little faith
Acknowledging one's lack of faith

I feel the wind and forget your grace
Succumbing to fear and forgetting God's grace

And you say, 'Peace, be still.'
Finding peace in God's calming presence

And oh, when a torment blows
In times of great hardship

The middle of the sea
Metaphor for feeling isolated in one's struggle

May I have never trust, never trust in me
Recognizing that one's trust should be in God, not oneself

'Cause There in your arms I find no tragedy
Finding comfort and protection in God's love

The white waves high, it's crashing over the deck
Visual imagery of a perilous situation

And I don't know where I go
Feeling lost and uncertain

Where are you Lord, is this ship going down?
Questioning God's presence in a difficult situation

The mast is gone so throw this anchor
Trying to find stability amidst chaos

Should I jump and try to swim to land?
Considering desperate measures to escape danger

There on the storm, teach me God to understand
Requesting understanding and guidance from God

Of your Will that I just cannot control
Acknowledging that God's will is beyond one's control

There may I see all your love protecting me
Realizing God's love and protection in difficult times

I thank you Lord, you are the calmer of the storm.
Expressing gratitude towards God for providing peace
