Everybody's Going Through Something
Karen Peck & New River Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a woman living next to me
Just trying to make ends meet
She's one check away from losin' in all
And there's a broken man I know
He's barely holdin' on to hope
Trying to get back up from his last fall
And me I'm dealin' with my own trials no one else can see
Without Jesus tell me, where would I be

Everybody's goin' thru something
Everybody faces a storm now and then
So if everybody's goin' thru something
I'd rather go thru something with Him

Storms come and waters rise
and everybody cries
It's part of livin', while we're livin' down here
But I'm glad I'm not alone
On this road I'm walking on
If I put my trust in Him there's nothin' to fear




And when, life seems so uncertain, I know one thing Is true
There's a God who will see me thru
