Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under your wings
Cover me
Within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
"Still" is a popular Christian song by Australian Christian worship music group Hillsong Worship. This song was first released in their 2002 album called "Hope". The song was written by Reuben Morgan, who is an Australian worship leader and Songwriter. The song "Still" is written as a reminder of God's power and our faith in him to overcome the storms in life.
The lyrics, "Hide me now, under Your wings, Cover me within Your mighty hand" is a reference to Psalm 91:4 which says "He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection." The lyrics reveal the singers' desire to be protected by God and to find rest and peace under his guidance. The singer cries out to God for help and protection, recognizing His sovereignty and mighty power. The lyrics provide a sense of reassurance and hope to the listeners that they are safe and secure under God's protection.
The next lyrics in the refrain, "When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with you above the storm" provides a powerful metaphor for the difficult times in life. The lyrics remind us that God is with us through difficult times and helps us to stay above the storms of life. The line, "Father you are king over the flood, I will be still and know you are God" is a reminder to the listeners to stay still and trust God in every circumstance. It is an encouragement to stay faithful even during times of uncertainty knowing that God is in control.
