Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Plagued by your promises
Words you have spoken
Desires you have placed in me
Faithfully you will complete

From the mountain to the valley
From the desert to the raging sea
And in the silence or the city streets
oh your presence always covers me

Hope you will lead the way
Peace you will be my strength
To see in the midst of storms
And believe in your goodness Lord

From the mountain to the valley
From the desert to the raging sea
It's in the silence or the city streets
Oh your presence always covers me

From the mountain to the valley
From the desert to the raging sea
It's In the silence or the city streets
Oh your presence always covers me

You take me in
You lead me out
You take me in
You lead me out
You take me in
You lead me out
Such a journey walking with you now

You take me in
You lead me out
You take me in
You lead me out
You take me in
You lead me out
Such a journey walking with you now

You take me in
You lead me out
You take me in
You lead me out
You take me in
You lead me out
Such a journey walking with you now

When I don't know what steps to take
When I don't know the moves to make
This one thing I can't escape

Your love

When I don't have the words to say
When I can't seem to find my way
This one thing I can't escape
It's Your love
It's your love

From the mountain to the valley
From the desert to the raging sea
And in the silence or the city streets
Oh your presence always covers me

From the mountain to the valley
From the desert to the raging sea
And in the silence or the city streets
Oh your presence always covers me

Oh your presence always covers me
Oh your presence always covers me

When I don't know what steps to to take
When I don't know what moves to make
This one thing I can't escape
Your love

When I don't have the words to say
When I can't seem to find my way
This one thing I can't escape
Your love

Oh it's your love




It's your love
It's your love

That violin beginning was such a holy moment!

@hc4jc777

This was published on August 16th, 2016. Man, I think back on that time period in my life. I didn't know the Lord yet. I'd just had my heart broken and was already into another unequally-yoked relationship, and was so deeply grieved and lost in my heart.. Little did I know that God had a plan to redeem my life.. All along, He had that planned.. And he brought it to pass- praise Him! PRAISE HIM. Let's keep praying for our unbelieving friends & family, because He is a way-maker.. and nothing is impossible for Him! Hallelujah. Thank You, Lord. <3

Who ever is listening to this in 2022, I hope God answers every one of your heart desires. Have an amazing 2023🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@patriciasabanal5530

Beautiful! This song, to me, speaks to the fact that no matter how painful our present pain is, God takes us in to lead us out. There's a purpose to fulfill his work in us! Refining us and ultimately to bring HIM glory!! We are told to be thankful and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character. This is who God wants us to become...like JESUS !!

FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE VALLEYS . . . FROM THE DESERT TO THE RAGING SEA. . . IT'S IN THE SILENCE OR THE CITY STREETS. . . YOUR PRESENCE ALWAYS COVERS ME. . . MIRACLE.

@claireferer8502

have y'all ever considered a completely instrumental piece, no main vocals? This intro is so beautiful! Y'all are amazing - praise God!!

@llunde22

An anointed violin solo...I don't think I've heard such a beautiful instrumental than that one.

@karenharlow5907

I agree. The music takes my breath away.
