Verse 1:
In the morning when I wake up
I will remember I will remember
All the ways that You are faithful
How you deliver how you deliver
Pre-Chorus:
Be not downcast O my soul
Where there's breath there is hope
Lift your eyes and praise the Lord
In his presence be restored
Chorus:
Oh Praise the lord
Let everything inside us rise up
Praise the lord o my soul
Now and forever I will remember you
Verse 2:
Through the storm and the darkness
Waves crashing over waves crashing over
You are always right here with me
Pulling me closer pulling me closer
Pre-Chorus:
Be not downcast O my soul
Where there's breath there is hope
Lift your eyes and praise the Lord
In his presence be restored

Oh Praise the lord
Let everything inside us rise up
Praise the lord o my soul
Now and forever I will remember you
Pre-Chorus:
Be not downcast O my soul
Where there's breath there is hope
Lift your eyes and praise the Lord
In his presence be restored

Sorrow may last for a night
But joy comes in the morning
(Joy comes in the morning)
Sorrow may last for a night
But joy comes in the morning
(Joy comes in the morning)

Darkness can't stay for too long
'Cause here comes the dawn
(Here comes the dawn)
Sorrow may last for a night
But joy comes in the morning

Oh Praise the lord
Let everything inside us rise up
Praise the lord o my soul
Now and forever I will remember you

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on March 31, 2023, the live recording of "I Will Remember" by Crossroads Music arrives as a resonant declaration of faith, centering on the vital biblical practice of remembering God's past faithfulness as an anchor for present trust and future hope. This song doesn't just present a simple sentiment; it captures the spiritual discipline of intentionally calling to mind God's character and actions, especially when facing uncertainty or hardship, a theme deeply woven throughout the Scriptures. It mirrors the frequent biblical injunctions to remember the Lord's deeds, such as when the psalmist recalls God's wonders to find comfort in times of trouble (Psalm 77:11-12) or when Israel is exhorted to remember how the Lord led them through the wilderness (Deuteronomy 8:2). The musical arrangement supports this message beautifully, building in intensity as the commitment to remember is reaffirmed, creating an atmosphere that encourages a personal posture of resolve and reliance on the unchanging nature of God, who remains faithful even when we falter (2 Timothy 2:13). It’s a sound that feels authentic to a gathered people leaning into truth, inviting those engaging with it to join in the declaration found in Hebrews 10:23, which calls us to hold unswervingly to the hope we profess because God, who promised, is faithful. Ultimately, "I Will Remember" serves as a powerful musical reminder that our confidence in tomorrow is firmly rooted in the unchanging faithfulness demonstrated by God yesterday and today, urging us towards steadfastness in His presence, a theme central to enduring faith as depicted in verses like Psalm 46:1-3, which speaks of God being our refuge and strength in times of trouble.
