Big Daddy Weave - God Is In This Story Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1: Katy Nichole
There's torn-up pages in this book
Words that tell me I'm no good
Chapters that defined me for so long
But the hands of grace and endless love
Dusted off and picked me up
Told my heart that hope is never gone
Chorus: Katy Nichole
God is in this story, God is in the details
Even in the broken parts, He holds my heart, He never fails
When I'm at my weakest, I will trust in Jesus
Always in the highs and lows, the One who goes before me
God is in this story
Verse 2: Mike Weaver
So if the storm you're walkin' through
Feels like it's too much and you
Wonder if He even cares at all
Well, hold on tight to what you know
He promised He won't let you go
'Cause all of healing's written in His scars
Chorus: Katy Nichole & Mike Weaver
God is in this story, God is in the details
Even in the broken parts, He holds my heart, He never fails
When I'm at my weakest, I will trust in Jesus
Always in the highs and lows, the One who goes before me
God is in this story
Bridge: Katy Nichole, Mike Weaver & Both
If it reads like addiction, if it reads like disease
He's the One who frees the prison, He's the healer of all things
If it reads like depression, if it reads broken home
He's the One who holds your sorrow, He won't leave you here alone
Chorus: Katy Nichole, Mike Weaver & Both
God is in this story, God is in the details
Even in the broken parts, He holds my heart, He never fails
When I'm at my weakest, I will trust in Jesus
Always in the highs and lows, the One who goes before me
Always in the highs and lows, the One who goes before me
God is in this story (You're in this story)
God is in my story (Right here in my story)

Meaning & Inspiration
Big Daddy Weave’s “God Is In This Story,” released on June 10, 2022, as part of the album *Let It Begin*, delivers a profound message of divine presence and hope amidst life's narratives, particularly resonating with those who have navigated significant personal challenges. The song directly addresses the experience of suffering, acknowledging the moments when circumstances feel overwhelming and God’s presence seems distant. This acknowledgment is crucial, as it grounds the song in relatable human experience, mirroring the prophet Isaiah’s lament, "Truly you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, the Savior" (Isaiah 45:15). The core of the song's powerful testimony lies in its assertion that even in the darkest chapters, God remains an active participant, weaving His purposes into the unfolding story of our lives. This aligns with the biblical principle found in Romans 8:28, which promises that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." The lyrical exploration suggests that God’s involvement isn't always a dramatic rescue but a steadfast, quiet faithfulness, a theme echoed in 1 Kings 19:11-13 where God’s presence is revealed not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. The song encourages listeners to look beyond their immediate pain and recognize the enduring hand of God, finding reassurance in His sovereignty even when the path is unclear. This perspective invites a deeper engagement with faith, reminding us that our stories, with all their trials and triumphs, are ultimately held within God's grand design, much like the Psalmist declared, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:16). The enduring encouragement of "God Is In This Story" is to trust that God’s narrative for us is one of redemption and ultimate victory, a truth powerfully reinforced by Jesus' promise in John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
