Lyrics
I've climbed a mountain, I've walked a valley low
And there's a hand guiding me where to go
So I will not question when storm clouds come my way
for I have placed my trust in You and You alone
Chorus
Still I will trust You
Still I will follow
Still I will listen to Your every calling
While the storm rages on and I can't find my way
Still I will trust You Lord
When in my dark hour
You restored my weary soul
You led me to that resting place and made me whole
Now I cannot question
Though stormy billows roll
My faith is secure, safe is my trust in You alone
(Repeat Chorus)

Meaning & Inspiration
The song explores steady faith during uncertainty rather than promising an escape from hardship. Mountains, valleys, storm clouds, and dark hours provide the setting for a confession that God remains trustworthy when direction is difficult to see. The central refrain holds together three responses—trusting, following, and listening—and presents them as continuing commitments while the storm remains.
The song also looks back on divine care as the basis for present confidence. Restoration of a weary soul and guidance to a resting place closely recall Psalm 23, where the Lord leads and restores. Its storm imagery also aligns with Psalm 46:1, which describes God as refuge and strength in trouble. The lyric does not deny fear or confusion; instead, it portrays faith as resting in God’s past faithfulness and present guidance. That emphasis gives the song the character of a testimony and a prayer, centered on dependence when circumstances offer little reassurance.
