Song Meaning

Brian Courtney Wilson's “Sure As” is a song of assurance built on comparisons with natural things. The first lines admit that certainty in life “is but a vapor,” here today and gone tomorrow. Even when some things are unclear, the singer says there is “an anchor beyond a doubt,” and God is “never far away.”

The chorus completes the thought several ways: “Sure as the sun will rise, sure as the night will fall too, I can always count on You.” Other lines reach for the clouds crying, the bird singing and the seasons changing. When people deny God or call him a myth, the singer says, “I'll let them keep their argument, because I have the evidence. I know the truth inside, it's You I feel.” The second verse praises God as the one who looks out for the sparrow and tailors the lilies of the field, who answers the questions of today and does not turn broken hearts away. It adds, “Nothing can take us out of Your hands.” The closing lines promise constant love, and the tone is relaxed and warm, with a smooth groove that supports the reassurance.

Birds and lilies being cared for is Matthew 6:26-28. Hope as an anchor is Hebrews 6:19, and no one snatching believers from his hand is John 10:28.

Certainty in life

Is but a vapor

Today there seems to be

But tomorrow disappears

Some things I’m not clear about

There’s an anchor beyond a doubt

You’re never far away

You’re always near


People try to find a way to deny You

Declaring You’re a myth and not all real

I’ll let them keep their argument

Because I have the evidence

I know the truth inside

It’s You I feel


Sure as the sun will rise

Sure as the night will fall too

I can always count on You

You will be with me always

Sure as the clouds will cry

Sure as Your love for me is true

I believe You when You say

You’ll be loving me always


Sure as

Sure as

Be with me for life


You’re the one who looks out for the sparrow

You’re the tailor for the lilies of the field

You’re the source for all there was and is

And the future, You will make it clear

And everything exists because You live

The questions for today, You are the answer

Broken hearts can come to You, You won’t turn them away

Wiser than fortune or fate

You know every breath we take

Nothing can take us out of Your Hands


Sure as the bird will sing

Sure as its sweet melody

I can always count on You

To be with me always

Sure as what You’ve given me

Life with You for eternity

I believe You when You say

You’ll be loving me always


You feel my love?

Do you feel my love?

It’s warming up


Sure as the sun always shines

Sure as the moon glows at night

There’s one thing I know in my heart

You will always be there


Sure as the seasons change

Sure as nothing stays the same

I can always count on You

You will be with me always

Sure as the clouds will cry

Sure as Your love for me is true

I believe You when You say

You’ll be loving me always
