This is a song of triumph, expressing faith in an all-powerful God Who is more than able to keep us safe in perilous times such as these in which we find ourselves. The Verses speak of His Word is a lamp and a light in darkest of times (Psalm 119:105), and a tower we can run to when the fight lands at our door. Because of such blessed assurance, we have a response of faith-proclamation in the Chorus, committing our lives unreservedly into His almighty hands, where He has inscribed our names, and where we are sheltered by His love. In His unfailing arms, His grace covers all our shame, and we have victory over the greatest of fears: death! This confidence in our God is followed up in the Bridge, which borrows heavily from Psalm 91, a famous passage that talks about God's protection for His people that is provided for in the covenant He has with us in Christ.

Something wicked emerged from the past.

The song talks about the unfailing faithfulness of God. He keeps us safe in the valley of death (Psalm 23:4), and guides our way in the wilderness of life. He is the eternal God, and remains the same through every age; His faithfulness cannot change. Those are the ideas conveyed in the Verses. The Chorus is a confession of our faith in His character: mountains may fall, storms may roar, the sun may burn crazy, and the flames may come bursting in but, still, in the midst of it all, He remains God; He remains good. Because of the assurance of His presence with us in such difficult times, we cannot but cling to His love, and to the truth of His promises given to us in His Word. The Bridge magnifies His Name above all else, speaking of His exceedingly surpassing greatness, above that of anyone or anything else we may be tempted to put our trust in.

The song tells the entire Gospel story in a nutshell. By submitting to the Father's will, as difficult as it was for Him, Jesus purchased remission of sins for the whole world on the Cross. As a result, in Christ, we have redemption (Ephesians 1:7). He also talked about the many mansions in His Father's house that He said He was going to make ready for those who receive the gift of salvation (John 14:1-3). Those are the main themes expressed in the two Verses. The end lines tell us the purpose for all this: so every nation and all creation can give high praise to God for His marvelous love towards us revealed in the vicarious sacrifice of Christ. The Chorus and Post-Chorus are a response showing our commitment to spread the news. This culminates in the Bridge which states that it's all for the glory of His Name, and that we are giving no excuses as we embark on this great commission.

Inside is a mysterious song about our deeper selves. Our complex thoughts and actions which are not even always clear to ourselves.
