Oh Oh Ohh,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohh

Oh Oh Ohh,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohh

I woke up, checked on the weather,
I realized the storm is over
The sun is shining,
In its fulness, the storm is over

For the sun, is shining in its full glory
For I know, my storm is over
For the sun, is shining in its full glory
For I know, my storm is over

I know, I know
I know, my storm is over
I know, I know
I know, He covers me

I've been through things, of late
I didn't know, He covers me
I've been through things, of late
I didn't know, I'll come (out) of it
I dispaired, I lost hope,
I didn't know, He covers me
The glory of Jesus covers me
The light of Jesus, shineth my path
I don't care, what I see,
For I know the storm is over

I know, I know
I know, the storm is over




I know, I know
I know, the storm is over

I see the sun, I see the stars
I see no clouds, the storm is over
Jesus said - He said to me,
He said to you, the storm is over

I know, I know
I know, the storm is over
I know, I know
I know, the storm is over
I know, I know
I know, the storm is over

Overall Meaning

In Dr. Paul’s song “The Storm Is Over,” the opening lines create an atmosphere of anticipation and relief, hinting at a transformative experience. The repetition of “Oh Oh Ohh” serves as a musical exclamation, emphasizing a sense of euphoria and release. The act of checking the weather metaphorically represents a personal introspection, suggesting the singer is assessing their emotional state. The realization that “the storm is over” symbolizes an inner conflict, struggle, or turmoil that has finally subsided, allowing a new beginning to take shape under the warmth of the sun. This imagery of sunlight shining in its “fullness” reflects the idea of healing and rejuvenation, indicating that after a period of darkness, clarity and positivity have emerged.


The chorus reinforces this powerful notion of overcoming adversity. The line “For I know, my storm is over” acts as a personal declaration and affirmation of faith. There’s an assurance that the toughest times are behind, invoking a sense of hope and strength through reliance on a spiritual presence. The repeated acknowledgment of Jesus' covering emphasizes a protective and guiding force, attributing the singer's newfound clarity and strength to divine influence. This suggests that faith plays a pivotal role in navigating life's challenges, where the light of Jesus represents enlightenment and guidance through difficult times.


In the ensuing verses, the lyrics delve deeper into the singer’s past struggles, acknowledging a period marked by despair and hopelessness. The reflection on having “been through things, of late” conveys a sense of vulnerability; however, it simultaneously highlights resilience and the eventual realization of divine support. Here, the phrase “I didn't know, He covers me” implies a journey of discovery, where the singer didn’t initially recognize the nature of their spiritual protection amid trials. The line “the glory of Jesus covers me” further reinforces the notion of grace and divine love, portraying Jesus as a comforting presence that shields and nurtures during anguish.


As the song progresses, it crescendos into a vision of a brighter world, marked by symbols of hope like the sun and stars devoid of clouds, reinforcing the idea that clarity has finally been achieved. The repeated mention of seeing the sun and stars portrays freedom and vast possibilities, suggesting that the singer is now able to rise above past troubles and witness life in a new, revitalized light. The concluding affirmations, “I know, I know, the storm is over,” echo throughout the song, creating a resonant summary of the overall deliverance from struggle to serenity. By echoing this powerful declaration amid joyous imagery, Dr. Paul encapsulates themes of renewal, faith, and the transformative journey from darkness into light.
