Lyrics
Verse:
If every valley that I walk through
Is a mountain you can move
And every scar is just a story
Of a pain you brought me through
If every morning is a promise
Of a better day to come
And every storm that I have weathered
Brings a river of your love
PRE:
Then I will sing to that end
Till you come back again
I will sing until Kingdom Come
CHORUS:
With all that I am
My soul sings again
With all that I have, Hallelujah
Verse 2:
If every fire is restoring
All the old to make it new
And every ocean is a highway
That on a praise you’re riding through
PRE:
Then I will sing to that end
Till you come back again
I’ll sing until Kingdom Come
CHORUS:
With all that I am
My soul sings again
With all that I have, Hallelujah
Cause all that I know
Is you’re in control
So my heart sings, Hallelujah
Bridge:
Surely your goodness and mercy
Will walk by my side
Surely your grace and your favour
Will flow through my life
Surely my testimony
Is the empty grave
So I will sing Hallelujah again and again
Verse 3:
For all the times that I decided
That I’d never stand back up
Would you constantly remind me
That your presence is enough
Cause I am ready and I’m able
To walk with only you
Cause if a heart is all you’re wanting
Then I’ll give it just to you
Surely (Official Audio) | Fearless
Meaning & Inspiration
“Surely” frames hardship through confidence in God’s continuing care. Valleys, scars, storms, fire, and oceans are not denied; each becomes an image of pain met by restoration, guidance, or love. The singer’s answer is sustained praise, offered while waiting for Christ’s kingdom and grounded in the conviction that God remains in control. Later lines turn that confidence into surrender, asking for the strength to rise and walk with God alone.
The bridge clearly echoes Psalm 23:6 in its assurance that goodness and mercy remain close throughout life. Its reference to the empty grave places Christian hope in Christ’s resurrection, recalling the proclamation in 1 Corinthians 15:20 that Christ has been raised from the dead. The desire to sing until Christ returns also aligns with Revelation 22:20. Together, these themes make the repeated hallelujah an expression of trust amid difficulty rather than a denial of it.
