Lyrics
As I walk through the fire
Let it purify me
I know you're with me there
Though fear and doubt may find me
God you hold the victory
And I know you're with me there
I'll walk proudly through the valley of the shadow of death
And I will fear no evil
Cause this is what you said
Even in the silence
Jesus you're working
And I believe it still
I believe it still
So let your promise be fulfilled
I put it all back in your hands
And find my confidence
In you and you alone
So who am I to fear
When you are for me
I will trust in you alone
I'll walk proudly through the valley of the shadow of death
And I will fear no evil
Cause this is what you said
Even in the silence
Jesus you're working
And I believe it still
I believe it still
So let your promise be fulfilled
Even in the darkness
You said you're here
And I believe it still
I believe it still
So let your promise be fulfilled
You will never change
Your promise stays the same
I know my help is on the way
I believe it I believe it
You will never change
Your promise stays the same
I know my help is on the way
I believe it I believe it
You will never change
Your promise stays the same
I know my help is on the way
I believe it
I believe that you will never change
Your promise stays the same
I know my help is on the way
I believe it I believe it
Even in the silence
Jesus you're working
And I believe it still
I believe it still
So let your promise be fulfilled
Even in the darkness
You said you're here
And I believe it still
I believe it still
So let your promise be fulfilled
Even in the silence
Jesus you're working
And I believe it still
I believe it still
So let your promise be fulfilled

Meaning & Inspiration
“Silence” expresses trust in Jesus when hardship, fear, and uncertainty remain present. Images of fire, darkness, and the valley of the shadow of death place faith in difficult surroundings rather than in easy circumstances. The central confession insists that Christ is still at work even when no evidence can be heard or seen, and the repeated appeal for his promise to be fulfilled turns that confidence into prayer.
The song also traces a movement from anxiety toward surrender. Confidence is placed in God alone, while fear loses its authority because God is portrayed as present and for his people. Repetition in the bridge reinforces two convictions: God does not change, and his promise remains dependable. The expectation that help is coming does not erase the silence; it gives the silence a hopeful meaning. Psalm 23 is directly echoed in the valley language, while the assurances of God’s support and unchanging character align with themes found elsewhere in Scripture.
