[Verse 1]
It's not the news that any of us hoped that we would hear
It's not the road we would have chosen, no
The only thing that we can see is darkness up ahead
But You're asking us to lay our worry down and sing a song instead
[Chorus]
And I didn't know I'd find You here
In the middle of my deepest fear, but
You are drawing near
You are overwhelming me, with peace
So I'll lift my voice and sing
You're gonna carry us through everything
You are drawing near
You're overwhelming all my fears, with peace
[Verse 2]
You say that I should come to You with everything I need
You're asking me to thank You even when the pain is deep
You promise that You'll come and meet us on the road ahead
And no matter what the fear says, You give me a reason to be glad
[Chorus]
And I didn't know I'd find You here
In the middle of my deepest fear, but
You are drawing near
You are overwhelming me, with peace
So I'll lift my voice and sing
You're gonna carry me through everything
You are drawing near
You're overwhelming all my fear
[Bridge]
Here in the middle of the lonely night
Here in the middle of the losing fight, You're
Here in the middle of the deep regret
Here when the healing hasn't happened yet
Here in the middle of the desert place
Here in the middle when I cannot see Your face
Here in the middle with Your outstretched arms
You can see my pain and it breaks Your heart
[Chorus]
And I didn't know I'd find You here
In the middle of my deepest fear, but
You are drawing near
You are overwhelming me with, peace
So I'll lift my voice and sing
You're gonna carry me through everything
You are drawing near
You're overwhelming all my fear with peace
[Outro]
Rejoice, rejoice
Don't have to worry 'bout a single thing, 'cause
You are overwhelming me with, peace!
Don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
You're gonna carry us through everything
Overwhelming peace
Find You Here
Song Meaning
Ellie Holcomb opens "Find You Here" refusing to soften the situation before addressing it — "it's not the news that any of us hoped that we would hear, it's not the road we would have chosen" — and "the only thing that we can see is darkness up ahead" keeps the description honest rather than hopeful too soon.
"You're asking us to lay our worry down and sing a song instead" names the actual instruction being given, an odd one under the circumstances, before the chorus describes an unexpected discovery: "I didn't know I'd find You here, in the middle of my deepest fear."
"You say that I should come to You with everything I need... even when the pain is deep" extends the same posture to gratitude, not just request, and the bridge repeats one structure eight times without varying it — "here in the middle of the lonely night... here when the healing hasn't happened yet" — insisting on presence specifically inside each named difficulty rather than after it ends. "You can see my pain and it breaks Your heart" closes the bridge crediting God's own grief before the final "overwhelming peace" answers every fear listed by name.
