Forrest Frank - SAFE AND SOUND Lyrics
Lyrics
[CAIN:]
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
I go to bed with no alarm set
Yeah, master meets me in the morning
The Holy Spirit got me feeling like I'm a kid on the weekend
Like oh, ain't it good to know that everything's in Your control
And oh, what a peace of mind
You make everything feel alright
[CAIN & Forrest Frank:]
Something about Your presence makes me feel good
I don't have to worry about a thing
Even when the wind and waves are rising
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
[Forrest Frank:]
Oh, holy vibe the sun and spirit, you deserve the praise
I was in that water heading for an early grave
Couldn't catch a breath, sin was on me like a weight
'Till you took me up now I'm walking on the waves
[Forrest Frank (CAIN):]
Like oh, ain't it good to know (Good to know)
Everything's in Your control
And oh, what a peace of mind
You make everything feel alright
[CAIN & Forrest Frank:]
Something about Your presence makes me feel good (Feel good)
I don't have to worry about a thing (Worry 'bout a thing)
Even when the wind and waves are rising
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
[Forrest Frank & CAIN:]
I'm safe and free in every way (Oh)
Standing on you night and day
I'm safe and sound (I'm safe)
I'm safe and sound
I'm saved and free in every way
Standing on you night and day
I'm safe and sound
I'm safe and sound
[CAIN & Forrest Frank:]
Something about Your presence makes me feel good (Feel good)
I don't have to worry about a thing
Even when the wind and waves are rising
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love
I know I'm safe and sound in Your love (Oh)

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on January 19, 2024, as part of the album DISC 1, Forrest Frank's "Safe and Sound," featuring CAIN, is a profound declaration of faith and security found in divine love. The song’s narrative centers on the transformative power of surrendering one's life to God, moving from a state of overwhelming burden to one of profound peace and freedom. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of this shift, illustrating a journey from drowning in sin and worry to experiencing a lightness and confidence that only divine intervention can provide. The opening lines, "I know I'm safe and sound in Your love," immediately establish the central theme, a recurring anchor throughout the piece. This sense of assurance echoes the biblical assurance found in Psalm 91:1-2, which states, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" The imagery of going to bed with no alarm, trusting that "master meets me in the morning," directly correlates with Jesus's teaching in Matthew 6:33-34, which encourages believers not to worry about the future, but to seek God's kingdom first, trusting He will provide. The mention of the Holy Spirit’s presence bringing a childlike joy, like a "kid on the weekend," is reminiscent of how Jesus describes the Kingdom of God in Matthew 18:3, where He says, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." This childlike trust and wonder are the fruits of being anchored in God’s control.
The song’s core message is about finding an unshakable peace, even amidst life's storms. The line, "Even when the wind and waves are rising," directly alludes to the account of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41. In that story, the disciples were terrified, but Jesus, though asleep, was ultimately in control. This song conveys the same understanding: that our safety is not dependent on external circumstances but on the presence of God, who holds all power. Forrest Frank's personal testimony, "I was in that water heading for an early grave. Couldn't catch a breath, sin was on me like a weight," powerfully describes a life weighed down by sin, a burden Jesus came to lift. His subsequent salvation, "Till you took me up now I'm walking on the waves," is a clear testament to redemption and the ability to overcome through Christ, paralleling Peter’s brief moment of walking on water with Jesus in Matthew 14:28-29 before his faith faltered. The repeated affirmation, "I'm safe and free in every way. Standing on you night and day," is a robust confession of complete reliance on God's strength and faithfulness, mirroring the psalmist's declaration in Psalm 18:2, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." The song’s simple yet potent structure, with its repeated assurances and relatable imagery, serves as an anthem for anyone seeking solace and a firm foundation, reminding listeners that true security is not found in worldly possessions or circumstances, but in the unwavering love of God.
