Lyrics
Lord, from sorrows deep I call,
When my hope is shaken.
Torn and ruined from the fall,
Hear my desperation!
For so long I’ve pled and prayed!
God, come to my rescue!
Even so the thorn remains.
Still my heart will praise You.
Storms within my troubled soul,
Questions without answers.
On my faith these billows roll,
God, be now my shelter.
Why are you cast down my soul?
Hope in Him who saves you!
When the fires have all grown cold,
Cause this heart to praise You!
O, my soul, put your hope in God!
My Help, my Rock, I will praise Him!
Sing, oh, sing through the raging storm!
You’re still my God, my Salvation!
Should my life be torn from me,
Every worldly pleasure.
When all I possess is grief,
God, be then my Treasure.
Be my Vision in the night!
Be my Hope and Refuge.
Till my faith is turned to sight,
Lord, my heart will praise You!
O, my soul, put your hope in God!
My Help, my Rock, I will praise Him!
Sing, oh, sing through the raging storm!
You’re still my God, my Salvation!
O, my soul, put your hope in God!
My Help, my Rock, I will praise Him!
Sing, oh, sing through the raging storm!
You’re still my God, my Salvation!
Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: Matt Papa and Matt Boswell
Life often brings seasons where sorrow runs deep and questions remain unanswered, yet God never turns away from our desperate cries. Even when the thorn remains and the storms roll over our faith, we are invited to bring our honest pain into the presence of the Savior. Jesus knows our grief and promises that His grace is sufficient in our weakest moments. As you sing today, let your heart anchor in the truth that even in deep trials, He is close to the brokenhearted and worthy of our praise.
