Constant
Out of Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've worked for so long
with the weakest of hands on the coldest of shores
the wind and the rain
fill me with doubt, but you've never been wrong
I pray for the sun
some guidance, some truth
some glimspe of the things to come
With only a song
Your love makes me strong, when all hope was gone

All through the night I was falling
Straining to hear your voice calling
You never gave out, never gave in, never quite gave up on me
Cause you are my constant
You always find time
To hoard up our treasures and bury iour dead
It's true what he says
The foxes have wholes but the King has no place for his head
I pray for relief
But relief doesn't come, just the will to press on
With only a song
You're love makes me strong when all hope is gone
All through the night I was falling
Straining to hear your voice calling
You never gave out, never gave in, never quite gave up on me
Cause you are my constant
Oh all through the night
your love is faithful to me
And all through the night
your love is right here with me
And all through the night
your love is holding me
All through the night I was falling
Straining to hear your voice calling
You never gave out, never gave in, never quite gave up on me
you are my constant
All through the night I was falling
Straining to see your light shinning
You never gave out, never gave in, never quite gave up on me
Cause you are my constant




You are my constant
You are my constant

Overall Meaning

“Constant” is a song by Christian R&B and urban gospel group Out of Eden. The song is about the faithfulness of God and how His love sustains us in times of trouble. The singer reflects on her life journey, particularly a season of struggle when she worked hard but was still struggling with doubt and uncertainty. Despite this, she remains confident that God is with her and that His love will never let her go.


The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer talks about working hard for a long time with little to show for it. She feels like she is on a cold, empty beach, with only the wind and rain for company. However, she acknowledges that God has never been wrong in his promises and that she is constantly praying for God's guidance, truth, and assurance.


The chorus “All through the night I was falling, Straining to hear your voice calling, You never gave out, never gave in, never quite gave up on me, Cause You are my constant” denotes her hope in God as her constant companion in her struggles. She had lots of doubts and fears, but her faith in God never wavers because she believes that God is with her through it all. The song speaks to the idea that even when we are in the darkest seasons of our lives, God’s love and grace remain constant.

I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM COME BACK!!!! I've been listening to them literally my entire life. I love how their sound evolves as a group, and how the lyrics always support their ministry. This is exactly what Christian music should be <3 It's not stale, it's joyful! and well produced! and beautifully composed! OMG swoons lol The sisters are just amazing. This was my first concert and what inspired me to even love music the way I do. Other girls had Aaliya, and Destiny's Child. I had Out of Eden's "More Than You Know" and it was exactly what I needed :D so freakin good!!!!

Out of Eden was my all time favorite band growing up. I was so happy to hear these lovely ladies sing once again. This cover is phenomenal.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Let this be a sign of more to come from Out of Eden!!!! PLEASE! This is giving me chills just like every time I would ever hear a new song by OOE. I realize this is a cover...but they still have it. This is epic. The world needs more :-D Keep it coming ladies. NO ONE does it like you.

I doubt it. They reunited to record a cover originally performed by House of Heroes for Gotee Records' 20th Anniversary. Both Lisa and Andrea have families of their own, and I am not certain if recording another album is on their list of priorities at the moment.

I Like You, You See (IYQUC)

Rawk4Life You're probably right, but hey: I'd take just one song a year--easy for them, great for the fans ;)

GABRIEL GORE

COULDNT AGREE WITH YOU MORE .THEYVE ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE CHRISTIAN GROUP.

benjamin crabtree

It is their last hoorah :-( I think Danielle is working on doing her own thing though which would be REALLY awesome.
