Lauren Daigle - O'Lord Lyrics
Lyrics
Whoa...
Though times it seems
Like I'm coming undone
This walk can often feel lonely
No matter what until this race is won
I will stand my ground where hope can be found
I will stand my ground where hope can be found
Oh, O'Lord O'Lord I know You hear my cry
Your love is lifting me above all the lies
No matter what I face this I know in time
You'll take all that is wrong and make it right
You'll take all that is wrong and make it right
Whoa...
Your strength is found
At the end of my road
Your grace it reaches to the hurting
Still through the tears and the questioning why
I will stand my ground where hope can be found!
I will stand my ground where hope can be found!
Oh, O'Lord O'Lord I know You hear my cry
Your love is lifting me above all the lies
No matter what I face This I know in time
You'll take all that is wrong and make it right
You'll take all that is wrong and make it right
(Right, so Right)
Make it Right,
(Right so Right)
Make it Right, Right
I will stand my ground
I will stand my ground
I will stand my ground where hope can be found!
I will stand my ground where hope can be found!
Oh! O'Lord O'Lord I know You hear my cry
Your love is lifting me above all the lies
No matter what I face this I know in time
You'll take all that is wrong and make it right
You'll take all that is wrong and make it right
(Right, so Right)
Make it Right,
(Right so Right)
Make it Right, Right

Lauren Daigle - O' Lord
Meaning & Inspiration
Lauren Daigle's "O' Lord," released on September 9, 2014, stands as a profound declaration of reliance and a humble plea for divine intervention, deeply rooted in the ancient language of faith. The song is less about a specific biographical narrative and more about embodying a universal human experience – the recognition of our own limitations and the unwavering belief in a higher power to guide and sustain us. It echoes the sentiment found in Psalm 121:1-2, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth," a sentiment that resonates throughout Daigle's earnest vocal delivery. The core message is one of profound dependence, acknowledging that true strength and direction originate not from within ourselves, but from the Almighty. This is powerfully conveyed through the raw vulnerability of the lyrics, which invite listeners into a space of sincere petition. The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to articulate a spiritual posture of surrender, reminiscent of Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Daigle’s interpretation of "O' Lord" serves as a potent reminder that in moments of uncertainty and struggle, turning to God is not an admission of weakness, but a declaration of ultimate trust. It’s a spiritual anthem that encourages a posture of humble receptivity, aligning with the timeless wisdom of seeking God’s will and allowing His Spirit to lead, much like the prophet Isaiah’s own surrender in Isaiah 6:8, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" Through this song, Lauren Daigle offers an inspiring testament to the transformative power of placing our burdens and our futures into the hands of the divine.
