The Lowly Heirs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You speak to me
When the words won't come and the day is done
You're listening
I am Your child
And in you I am known
Within the storm
You are my calm
When my faith grows tired and my knees grow weak
You plead for me
When the road is long and I can't go on
You carry me
I am your child
In You I'm known
Within the storm
You are me calm
Be satisfied, be still, my soul
When the journeys done, I'll behold the One
Who came for me
Standing face to face with the Son of God
Who died for me
You call me child
In You I'm made whole
Once enemies
Now I am Your Spirit's home
Be satisfied, be still, my soul
Be satisfied, be still, my soul.
All the things of earth appear strangely dim now
Mountains crumble down in the light of Him
We put out faith in God who is our hope secure
He's holding us right now just as He has before
All You have for me is good
All You have for me is good
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
The lyrics of "Exodus" by The Lowly Heirs reflect a deeply personal and intimate relationship with God. In moments of weakness and when words fail, the singer finds solace in the fact that God is always listening and speaking to him. This bond is described as that of a parent and child, where the singer is known and understood completely by God. In times of turmoil and distress, God is a constant source of calm and strength, providing support and carrying the singer when they cannot go on.
The song ends with the promise of beholding the One who came for the singer, standing face to face with the Son of God who died for them. The singer is now made whole in God and is no longer an enemy, but a home for His Spirit. The concept of being satisfied and still in the midst of life's uncertainties and challenges is conveyed throughout the song. The final line, "All You have for me is good," is a powerful declaration of faith that whatever comes, God is in control and everything will work together for the singer's good.
