Bryann T - Middle Of My Storm Lyrics
Lyrics
I watched my family go through it this week
And seeing them hurting only made me feel weak
See I was searching for the right words to speak but
In the midst I was facing my own doubts and defeat
That's when the Lord told me to jump to my feet
Cos I had blessings that were by to my reach
I had to usher in His presence of peace
I almost forgot about the promises He promised He'd keep
Oh no He's a rewarder so continue to seek
A God of order, a supporter to the one that is meek
I cried an ocean with every tear that fell off from my cheek
His arms are open to the broken and to love in increase
I know the wicked tried to scatter the sheet
But God's forgiveness is the realest thing you ever gon' meet
Lord even the monsters, vultures and the leechers who leech
It's an honor to give my life up for the gospel I preach
Singing hallelujah in the middle of my storm
In the middle of my storm I sing
They say where does he get his strength from
How could he be so strong.You make me Strong my Lord
So I point up to my king
Hey, don't you see the pain is killing us
And can't you see the boat is filling up
I know this song might look ridiculous cos I
Refuse to give up but swallow the seed of bitterness
How could you close your eyes and sleep through this
How could you lift your hands and sing to this
See with everything I believe in this and I know that
God won't lead me to where the evil and deceitful is
They say where does he get his strength from
How could he be so strong now
Where did he get his faith from
How could he still have hope with everything going on now
Now, any other man would have been gave up
He would have perished, he would have died without his hope paid up
Without my Jesus I can't wake up, straight up
I know you wonder why I stay prayed up
I trust Him when He tells me yes; I trust Him when He tells me no
I trust Him when He tells me stay; I trust Him when He tells me go
I lean not on my own understanding; yes I obey
If you learn to submit then the path you walk will be straight
You were created on purpose and for a purpose
This is where you must let your prayers turned into worship
You were created on purpose and for a purpose
This is where you must let your prayers turned into worship
Singing hallelujah in the middle of my storm
In the middle of my storm
In the middle of my storm I sing
They say where does he get his strength from. How can he be so strong
You make me Strong my Lord
So I point up to my king
I point up to my king
I point up to my king
Cos you're the one who strengthens
The one who strengthens, the one who strengthens me
Another worship song I sing
Another offering I bring
Cos you're the one who strengthens
The one who strengthens, the one who strengthens me
Singing hallelujah in the middle of my storm
In the middle of my storm I sing
Where does he get his strength from. How can he be so strong
So I point up to my king

Kingdom Muzic Presents Bryann T - Middle of My Storm
Meaning & Inspiration
Bryann T's "Middle of My Storm," released by Kingdom Muzic on February 23, 2018, is a profound declaration of faith and resilience set against the backdrop of personal and familial struggle. The song emerges from a place of deep empathy, as Bryann T opens by acknowledging the pain he witnessed within his own family, a pain so visceral it threatened to incapacitate him. This shared suffering, however, didn't solely lead to despair; it became the catalyst for a divine redirection. He recounts a moment where he felt himself faltering under the weight of his own doubts and defeat, only to be divinely prompted to rise, recognizing the proximity of God's blessings. This crucial turning point underscores the song's central theme: finding strength not in personal fortitude alone, but in actively ushering in God's presence, a presence that offers peace and reminds him of steadfast promises. The lyrics draw heavily on the biblical assurance that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, especially the meek, as highlighted in Hebrews 11:6 and Psalm 37:11. The imagery of crying an ocean with every tear evokes the raw emotion of lament, yet it’s immediately met with the comforting truth of God’s open arms for the broken, a reflection of Psalm 34:18, which states God is close to the brokenhearted. Even in the face of what he describes as "wickedness," "monsters, vultures and the leechers," Bryann T reaffirms his commitment to the gospel, viewing it an honor to lay down his life for its sake, echoing the self-sacrificial call found in verses like John 15:13.
The song's chorus, "Singing hallelujah in the middle of my storm," is not merely an expression of joy, but a deliberate act of worship and defiance in the face of adversity. It directly addresses the common human inclination to question how one can maintain strength and faith amidst overwhelming circumstances, positing that this strength is not self-generated but a divine impartation, a testament to the power of "my Lord" as the ultimate source of strength. This resonates with Isaiah 40:31, which promises renewal of strength for those who wait on the Lord. The subsequent verses confront the harsh realities of suffering that can feel all-consuming, likening the situation to a boat filling with water. Bryann T's refusal to succumb to bitterness, instead choosing to swallow the "seed of bitterness" and persist in faith, showcases a mature understanding of spiritual warfare. He challenges the passivity that can creep in during trials, questioning how one can remain detached when faced with such hardship, and then pivots to the unwavering conviction that God will not abandon the faithful to paths of evil and deceit, a comforting reminder of God's protective guidance found in verses like Proverbs 3:5-6. The repetition of the questions about his strength and faith serves to emphasize the divine intervention at play, prompting listeners to consider their own sources of resilience. He then directly attributes his ability to persevere to Jesus, stating he cannot wake up without Him and remains "prayed up" because of Him, aligning with Philippians 4:13, which declares that through Christ, all things are possible. The pivotal lines, "I trust Him when He tells me yes; I trust Him when He tells me no; I trust Him when He tells me stay; I trust Him when He tells me go," encapsulate a profound surrender and obedience. This isn't blind faith, but an active leaning on divine understanding over personal logic, a direct application of Proverbs 3:5. The repeated directive to let prayers turn into worship, especially when one is "created on purpose and for a purpose," transforms the song from a personal testimony into an empowering call to action. It encourages listeners to recognize their inherent worth and divine design, and to channel their struggles into acts of adoration, transforming moments of prayer into expressions of worship, a sentiment echoed in James 5:13, encouraging prayer and singing praises in times of suffering. Ultimately, "Middle of My Storm" is a powerful anthem that encourages unwavering faith, acknowledging personal weakness while exalting God's infinite strength and faithfulness as the ultimate anchor in every trial.
