He Holds Everything
Faith Amidst Storms: Discovering Hope in 'He Holds Everything'
Lyrics
Waiting for that other shoe to drop
Feeling anxious, expecting a negative event or consequence.
And you swear this world's gonna come to a stop
Believing that the world is on the verge of a major crisis.
Drowning on dry land a can't come up for air
Experiencing intense struggles or challenges without relief.
Your knees are so weak and you look at that mountain
Feeling physically and emotionally exhausted in the face of a daunting task.
Say there's no way over and no way around it
Perceiving obstacles as insurmountable, feeling trapped.
And it feels like you're so far from home
Feeling far from a place of comfort or security, possibly spiritually disconnected.
Even God's not there
Experiencing a sense of abandonment or distance from God.
But
Transition to a contrasting perspective or hope.
Oh but every single sparrow flying
Highlighting God's awareness of every living being.
And every broken soul that's crying
Emphasizing God's compassion for those going through emotional pain.
He can see yeah you're in His reach
Assurance that one is within God's care and protection.
If He can hold an ocean back with one little shore
Using the power of nature to illustrate God's ability to control vast challenges.
Then what's all this worry and doubting for
Questioning the purpose of excessive worrying and doubting.
Oh I believe He holds everything
Expressing faith in the belief that God holds everything.
When it's late at night and you're staring at the stack of bills
Facing financial struggles and uncertainties.
It don't add up and you don't know how it will
Being unable to comprehend or foresee a solution to financial problems.
Clinging to your mother's faith with a half-hearted prayer
Holding onto a sense of faith, albeit with doubts, during challenging times.
But you still don't know
Remaining uncertain about the outcome despite relying on faith.
When the anchor man breaks in on your TV
Receiving distressing news about difficult times ahead.
And says these times they won't be easy
Experiencing fear and the temptation to give up in the face of adversity.
And fear sets in and you wanna give in
Feeling overwhelmed by fear and the desire to surrender.
Just let it go
Encouragement to release and let go of the overwhelming fear.
Oh let it go
Reiteration of the need to let go of fear and trust in a higher power.
Every single sparrow flying
Repeating the idea of God's awareness and care for every living being.
And every broken soul that's crying
Reiterating God's compassion for those going through emotional pain.
He can see yeah you're in His reach
Reassurance that one is within God's care and protection.
If he can hold an ocean back with one little shore
Using the metaphor of holding back an ocean to emphasize God's power over immense challenges.
Then what's all this worry and doubting for
Questioning the purpose of excessive worrying and doubting, emphasizing faith.
Oh I believe, yeah I believe He holds everything, he holds everything
Affirmation of the belief that God holds everything.
