Eliohim
Nicole C. Mullen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where all my blue has turned to grey
A thunderstorm
Above me forms
And I need sheltering
So Maker of the wind and rain
Can you calm the hurricane
Out of control
Or help me face what may
Chorus
I love you
I want you
I need you right now
I can't live without you
Don't wanna learn how
With all of my heart
I surrender I bow
Elohim...Cover me
No matter how hard I try
Nothing seems to satisfy
The deepest part of my heart
Where shallowness resides
'Til I'm so desperate I call Your name
And you revive my soul once again
Of all that I
Crave inside
This can't be denied
Chorus
....Rescue me....Cover me....Forgive me
In the first verse of Nicole C. Mullen's song "Elohim," the singer describes a day where everything seemed to go wrong, and all of her happiness, represented by the color blue, turned to sadness and desolation, represented by the color grey. She feels like a thunderstorm is hovering over her, and she's in desperate need of shelter. Turning to the Maker of the wind and rain, she asks if He can calm the storm that's raging inside her soul or help her face it.
In the chorus, the singer expresses her love, need, and desire for God. She declares that she can't imagine living without Him or even learning how to do so. She surrenders her heart to Him and begs Him to cover her, asking to be rescued, covered, and forgiven. Through her lyrics, Mullen conveys the idea that we all have times in our lives when we feel lost and alone, and we need someone to help us through difficult times. In this case, the singer finds solace and refuge in God.

It's been one of those days
Today has been particularly difficult
Where all my blue has turned to grey
The things that normally bring me joy have lost their meaning
A thunderstorm
A storm with thunder and lightning
Above me forms
Is forming in the sky over me
And I need sheltering
I need protection from the storm
So Maker of the wind and rain
God, who created the elements of wind and rain
Can you calm the hurricane
Can you bring peace to the turmoil in my life
In my soul
Inside of me
Out of control
Feels like it's beyond my ability to handle
Or help me face what may
Or give me the strength to handle whatever comes my way
Chorus
Refrain, stating the singer's love and need for God's help
No matter how hard I try
Despite my best efforts
Nothing seems to satisfy
I can't find contentment
The deepest part of my heart
The place where my truest desires and needs reside
Where shallowness resides
Where superficial things don't truly satisfy
'Til I'm so desperate I call Your name
Until I'm at such a low point that I cry out to God
And you revive my soul once again
And God brings me back to life
Of all that I crave inside
Of all the things I desire deep down
This can't be denied
I can't pretend I don't need God's help
Chorus
Refrain, stating the singer's love and need for God's help
...Rescue me...Cover me...Forgive me
Additional requests for God to help and protect the singer, and to forgive their shortcomings
