I Will Sing
Finding Strength in the Darkest Hours: Oasis Worship's 'I Will Sing'
Lyrics
Lord, You seem so far away
Expressing a feeling of distance or separation from the divine.
A million miles or more, it feels today
Emphasizing the perceived vastness of the spiritual separation.
And though I haven't lost my faith
Acknowledging the persistence of faith despite challenges.
I must confess right now
Confession of the difficulty in prayer at the present moment.
That it's hard for me to pray
Admitting the struggle to engage in prayer.
But I don't know what to say
Expressing a sense of speechlessness in communicating with the divine.
And I don't know where to start
Conveying uncertainty about where to begin the communication.
But as You give the grace
Recognizing the role of divine grace in the singer's life.
With all that's in my heart
Commitment to praise with sincerity and full-heartedness.
I will sing, yes, I will praise, even in my darkest hour
Declaration of intent to sing and praise even in challenging times.
Through the sorrow and the pain
Commitment to praise during moments of sorrow and pain.
I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You
Expressing the physical act of lifting hands in honor of the divine.
Because Your word is true, I will sing
Grounding the commitment to sing in the truth of the divine's word.
Lord it's hard for me to see all the thoughts
Acknowledging difficulty in understanding divine plans.
And plans You have for me, yes it is
Expressing trust despite uncertainty in divine plans.
But I will put my trust in You
Reference to the divine sacrifice for the singer's freedom.
Lord we made Your die to set me free
Gratitude for the divine sacrifice.
Oh thank God You did
Expressing thanks for the freedom gained through divine sacrifice.
But I don't know what to say
Reiteration of difficulty in expressing thoughts and feelings.
And I don't know where to start
Repeating uncertainty about where to initiate communication.
But as you give the grace
Reaffirmation of the importance of divine grace.
With all that's in my heart
Commitment to sing and praise with sincerity.
I will sing, I will praise, even in my darkest hour
Reiteration of the intent to sing and praise during challenging times.
Through the sorrow and the pain
Recommitment to praise in moments of sorrow and pain.
I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You
Reaffirmation of the physical act of lifting hands in honor.
Because Your word is true
Regrounding the commitment in the truth of the divine's word.
I will sing, I will praise, even in my darkest hour
Repetition of the commitment to sing during challenging times.
Through the sorrow and the pain
Reiteration of the commitment to praise in moments of sorrow.
I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You
Reaffirmation of the physical act of lifting hands in honor, again.
Because Your word is true, I will sing, I will sing, I will sing
Repeating the commitment grounded in the truth of the divine's word.
Oh, we sing to You Lord
