Lyrics
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
Your Joy Oh lord
will be my strength,
Renouncing fear
We stand in your glorious grace.
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Meaning & Inspiration
Still presents trust as a quiet response to danger. Images of shelter beneath divine wings and protection within a mighty hand establish God as a refuge, while rising oceans, thunder, and flood represent circumstances beyond human control. Against that turmoil, the repeated confession chooses stillness and recognizes God as sovereign. The song does not deny fear or instability; it places both beneath the rule of the Father who remains King over the flood.
The second verse moves inward, calling the soul to rest in Christ and to know divine strength through quietness and trust. That language closely echoes biblical passages about stillness before God, refuge under his wings, and strength found in confident rest. The closing lines add joy and grace as resources for standing against fear. Across its verses and refrain, the song frames worship as settled confidence: storms may continue, but the soul can rest because divine authority is greater than the storm.
