Written by: Patrick Muzondi Makamo
Verse 1
The wind is loud, the waves are high,
Questions fill my weary mind.
The road is dark, I cannot see,
But I know You're walking here with me.
The thunder speaks with fear so strong,
Yet Your gentle voice becomes my song.
When every answer fades away,
Your faithful love tells me to stay.
Pre-Chorus
You never promised skies without rain,
But You promised You would know my pain.
So I'll be still, I'll trust Your hand,
You're holding what I cannot understand.
Chorus
You are the stillness in the storm,
The shelter where my heart is warm.
When oceans rise and mountains shake,
Your faithful love will never break.
You are the peace that calms my soul,
The One who makes the broken whole.
When all around me falls apart,
You're the stillness in my heart.
Verse 2
I've seen the nights that never end,
Yet every dawn proves You're my friend.
The tears I've cried were never lost;
You counted every single drop.
What looks like failure in my eyes
Becomes a victory in disguise.
Your timing writes a better story,
Every trial becomes Your glory.
Pre-Chorus
Though I don't know what comes tomorrow,
I know the One who holds tomorrow.
So I will walk by faith each day,
Your light will always lead my way.
Chorus
You are the stillness in the storm,
The shelter where my heart is warm.
When oceans rise and mountains shake,
Your faithful love will never break.
You are the peace that calms my soul,
The One who makes the broken whole.
When all around me falls apart,
You're the stillness in my heart.
Bridge
When fear says, "You'll never make it,"
Faith whispers, "God has already gone ahead."
When doubt says, "It's over,"
Grace declares, "A new chapter has begun."
The same God who calmed the sea
Is standing here beside me.
The same God who raised the dead
Is lifting up my head.
So I won't fear the wind.
I won't fear the rain.
Because my Savior reigns forever,
And His promises remain.
Final Chorus
You are the stillness in the storm,
My refuge through the darkest dawn.
No matter what this life may bring,
I'll keep on trusting in my King.
You are the anchor of my soul,
The faithful God who makes me whole.
Until the day I see Your face,
I'll rest within Your endless grace.
Outro
When the storm is raging,
I'll remember Your voice.
When the night is longest,
I'll remember Your light.
When my strength is fading,
I'll remember Your cross.
For the One who calmed the sea
Still speaks peace over me.
You're the stillness in the storm.
You're the peace my heart has longed for.
Jesus, You are enough.
