Lyrics

Unshaken

Verse 1

In a world that shifts like sand,
Your truth, O Lord, is the land where we stand.
Through storms that rage, through winds that howl,
In Your unshaken word, we drape our soul.

Chorus

Unshaken, in Your holy word,
Above the chaos, Your voice is heard.
In the quake of life, in the tempest’s roar,
Unshaken, we stand, forevermore.

Verse 2

In the tides of change, in the currents of doubt,
Your steadfast love is what life’s about.
An anchor in the depths, a light in the grey,
In Your unshaken truth, we find our way.

Chorus

Unshaken, in Your holy word,
Above the chaos, Your voice is heard.
In the quake of life, in the tempest’s roar,
Unshaken, we stand, forevermore.

Bridge

Though the earth may tremble, the mountains may fall,
Your unshaken word, a fortress tall.
A promise unbroken, a path so clear,
In Your unwavering truth, we have no fear.

Chorus

Unshaken, in Your holy word,
Above the chaos, Your voice is heard.
In the quake of life, in the tempest’s roar,
Unshaken, we stand, forevermore.

Outro

So in this journey, through the unknown,
In Your unshaken word, we’ve flown.
Steady and sure, like the stars above,
Unshaken, in the truth of Your love.
