Lyrics
I used to wonder
If I would ever
Find what I was searching for
Getting lost and
Forever chasing
Always wanting something more
The questions I was fighting
But You were never hiding
Just needed some reminding
Who is gonna love me all my life
Who is gonna never leave my side
Who is gonna be the heartbeat of everything I do
The answer is always You
It’s been a wild ride
And for a while I’ve
Had my share of highs and lows (no doubt)
You’re the calm when
The storm is ragin’
Oh God you never let me go (oh no)
When I think I’m going under
I don’t have to wonder
There’ll never be another
You hold my future (whatever comes)
You hold me together (in Your arms)
You waited patiently for me
And now I know

Meaning & Inspiration
The Answer describes a search for lasting security that ends in confidence in God. The opening lines portray restless pursuit and unanswered questions, but the song shifts from uncertainty to recognition: God was not absent or hidden. The chorus names the needs beneath that search, including enduring love, faithful companionship, and a steady center for daily life. Its answer remains consistent rather than dependent on changing circumstances.
The second half acknowledges both highs and lows, then presents God as calm during a raging storm. The language of being held, protected, and patiently awaited supports a theme of dependable care. Although the lyric does not deny distress, it treats fear of being overwhelmed as something met by divine presence. The closing declaration places the future in Gods hands and depicts that care as holding a life together. The song therefore moves from restless questioning toward settled trust in the God who does not abandon his people.
