Lyrics
When the storm raged above them
The disciples were afraid
For waves were high and the ship was tossed
They could not find their way
Then they awoke the Master
Saying Lord please save us now
He rebuke the winds and the sea grew calm
And they all wondered how?
God sees the storm from the other side
He knows the lessons learned

Meaning & Inspiration
“He Already Sees” places the fear of the disciples during a violent storm beside the complete knowledge God has of what lies beyond it. The lyric begins with a recognizable scene from the Gospels: waves overwhelm the boat, the disciples wake Jesus, and his rebuke brings calm. That movement from panic to peace supports the central contrast between limited human sight and divine perspective.
The storm account clearly recalls Mark 4:37–41, where Jesus stills the wind and sea and confronts the fear of the disciples. By emphasizing that God sees the storm “from the other side,” the song presents hardship as something neither hidden from God nor beyond his authority. Its language does not deny distress; the frightened disciples remain an important part of the picture. Instead, the lyric draws assurance from the presence and command of Christ, portraying trust as possible even when a safe course cannot yet be seen.
