Purpose
Why this song exists.
In the Storm exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into peace. The opener sets the emotional world of the EP by beginning honestly inside the storm before the title-track declaration arrives.
The song does not try to explain every part of the EP at once. It holds one worship task with care, giving the listener language that can be sung honestly in a service, during prayer, or in the quiet of ordinary life.
Meaning
What the song carries.
At its heart, the song treats peace as something to be received before it is performed. The focus is not on musical display, but on helping attention turn towards Jesus with language that feels plain, prayerful and singable.
The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold trust in fear and chaos, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.

For listening and worship

Verse 1
When the waves are rising round me When the night is closing in When my heart is tired of running And my thoughts are wearing thin You are near within the thunder You are steady in the rain Not a tear is lost before You Not a fear is held in vain
Chorus
In the storm In the storm Jesus, You are with me In the storm I will trust I will rest You are peace around me In the storm
Verse 2
When the questions go unanswered When the road is hard to see Still Your voice is gently speaking Still Your hand is holding me You have never left Your people You have never lost Your own So I bring my fear to Jesus And I find I’m not alone
Chorus
In the storm In the storm Jesus, You are with me In the storm I will trust I will rest You are peace around me In the storm
Bridge
You are stronger than the thunder You are deeper than the sea You are closer than my breathing You are holding on to me You are faithful in the waiting You are shelter in the rain So my soul will not be shaken I will trust Your holy name
