Ryan Stevenson - Eye Of The Storm (Radio Version) Lyrics
Lyrics
When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet
Between the black skies and my red eyes, I can barely see
And when I'm feeling like I've been let down by my friends and my family
I can hear the rain reminding me
In the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
When my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
In the eye of the storm
When my hopes and dreams are far from me
And I'm running out of faith
I see the future I pictured
Slowly fade away
And when the tears of pain and heartache are pouring down my face
I find my peace in Jesus' name
In the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
When my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
In the eye of the storm
When they let me go and I just don't know
How I'm gonna make ends meet
I did my best
Now I'm scared to death
That we might lose everything
And when a sickness takes my child away
And there's nothing I can do
My only hope is to trust You
I trust You Lord
In the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
When my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
When my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
In the eye of the storm

Meaning & Inspiration
Ryan Stevenson's "Eye of the Storm (Radio Version)," released in 2016, offers a profound message of steadfast faith in the face of adversity, drawing deeply from biblical principles. The song beautifully articulates the truth that even when the world around us rages, a divine peace is accessible through Christ. This isn't merely a platitude; Stevenson captures the visceral experience of turmoil and then pivots to the anchoring power of God's presence. The core message resonates with the promise found in Isaiah 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." The "radio version" effectively distills this powerful sentiment, making it accessible and impactful for a broad audience. The narrative woven throughout the song speaks to the human tendency to be overwhelmed by circumstances, yet it consistently points towards the unshakeable foundation of faith. This mirrors the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 7:24-25, where He compares building one's life on His words to a wise builder constructing a house on rock, which withstands the storm. The inclusion of GabeReal adds another layer, reinforcing the communal aspect of faith and the strength found in shared belief, echoing the sentiment in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." "Eye of the Storm" encourages listeners to fix their gaze not on the terrifying winds of life's challenges, but on the unchanging character of God. It is a reminder of Psalm 37:5, which states, "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this." This song serves as a powerful anthem for anyone navigating difficult seasons, reminding them that true security and peace are found not in controlling the storm, but in trusting the One who commands it.
