Lyrics
Though I walk through darkest valleys
There’s no fear for You are with me
You have held me through the fire
Jesus You are here with me
Even when my heart grows weary
You are my hiding place
And Your kindness draws me closer
I will rest here in Your strength
You will be praised
You will be praised
Through every storm You will remain
In death and in life I’ll not be afraid
In joy or in pain You will be praised
Here with You my cup runs over
You are everything I need
There is nothing like Your presence
You are the song I sing
For You have been my portion
You are my hiding place
When this earthly fight is over
Only heaven’s joy remains
You will be praised
You will be praised
Through every storm You will remain
In death and in life I’ll not be afraid
In joy or in pain You will be praised
Oh my soul will praise in the darkest of nights
Oh my soul will praise
I will bless Your Name with all of my strength
I will bless Your Name
You will be praised
You will be praised
Through every storm You will remain
In death and in life I’ll not be afraid
In joy or in pain You will be praised

Meaning & Inspiration
You Will Be Praised presents worship as a steady response to every circumstance. The verses move through dark valleys, fire, weariness, storms, joy, pain, life, and death, yet each setting is met by the same confession: Jesus remains present and worthy of praise. God is portrayed as a hiding place, a source of strength, and the portion that satisfies every need. Praise is therefore not tied to comfort; it rests on the constancy of divine companionship and kindness.
Several images closely echo the Psalms. The dark valley recalls the shepherd who stays near and removes fear, while the overflowing cup points to abundant care. Calling God a hiding place and portion also reflects biblical prayers of trust. The bridge turns those assurances into a deliberate blessing of the divine name, even in the darkest night. By joining protection, presence, and perseverance, the song frames praise as faithful confidence that continues through earthly struggle and anticipates the joy of heaven.
