Amadeo (Still My God) Lyrics

Life can take our breath away
Tragedy can leave a wake
A broken heart won’t ever beat the same 
Pain can stop us in our tracks
Losing what we can’t get back
Shaking the foundations of our faith

No matter whats in my way
No matter the battles I face

You are still my God
You’re still my rock
My only hope Lord, 
You’re all I’ve got
In every valley or mountaintop
I’ll say hallelujah

You’re still my God

The questions keep us in the fight
The answer’s never black or white
We may not know until the other side
But even in this in between
We fix our eyes on what’s unseen

The shadows never overcome the light
No matter whats in my way
I know that You won’t ever change

You’re still my hope
You’re still my peace
You’re still my joy
You’re all I need
You’re still my strength
When I am weak
You’re still my God
I still believe

Amadeo (Still My God) Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Released on February 28, 2020, Ryan Stevenson's "Amadeo (Still My God)" arrives as more than just a song; it's a transparent glimpse into a father's profound struggle and unwavering faith in the face of uncertainty, born from the harrowing experience surrounding the birth of his son, Amadeo. The narrative woven into the music explores the raw, often messy, reality of questioning God during intense personal trials, a journey familiar to many believers. Stevenson vulnerably portrays the moments of doubt, fear, and even anger that can arise when life takes unexpected and difficult turns, particularly when a child's health is at stake. Yet, through the emotional storm depicted in the lyrics and carried by the music's dynamic arc, the song lands on a powerful declaration: despite everything, God remains God. This truth resonates deeply with the scriptural pattern of lament found throughout the Psalms, where cries of anguish and confusion (Psalm 13, Psalm 44) ultimately transition into renewed trust and praise for God's character and faithfulness, even when circumstances haven't changed. The song’s message mirrors the wrestling of figures like Jacob at Peniel (Genesis 32:22-32), who physically struggled yet ultimately received a blessing, or Job, who faced unimaginable loss and suffering but clung to his integrity and knowledge of God's sovereignty (Job 1:21, Job 42:1-6). It reminds us that true faith isn't the absence of questions or pain, but the active choice to anchor ourselves to the unchanging nature of God (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8) when our circumstances are anything but stable. The song serves as a powerful reminder that God is not diminished by our doubts nor does He abandon us in our suffering (Isaiah 43:2); He is present, powerful, and worthy of our trust, yesterday, today, and forever, truly "Still My God" through all of life's unpredictable seasons, echoing the confidence found in Philippians 4:13 that we can face anything through Christ who strengthens us.
