Song Meaning
A spoken testimony from Hezekiah Walker frames this gospel track, and it starts with doubt. Hardship, he says, has made people question "the very God of gods," then he cites the apostle Paul: "troubled on every side, yet not in distress... cast down but never destroyed," which is 2 Corinthians 4:8-9. The conclusion he draws is the title: "Finally the storm is over."
The sung sections, credited to Blackstreet, make that a simple chorus: "Bless the Lord... cause finally we'll make it through the storm." The second verse is more personal and more honest, admitting "we've had our ups and downs" and "sometimes there's no way out" while trusting that "He's there to lead me and guide me every step of the way." It closes with "everything that I do, I owe it all to You."
Walker returns near the end with declarations built on Scripture. "All things work together for the good" is Romans 8:28, and speaking "to those things that are not as though they were" draws on Romans 4:17. He goes on to call blessing over households, marriages and broken hearts, then sends the choir back into the chorus. The last word is a confident claim that God "is the greatest power" and "we shall not be defeated."

[Hezekiah:]
You know you and I've been through many hardships in life
They say people who believe, hardship has made us doubt
The very God of gods
But the apostle Paul said in his scripture
We are troubled on every side, yet not in distressed
We are perplexed but not in dispair
Persecuted but not forsaken
Cast down but we are never distroyed
And the conclusion of the whole matter is that
Finally the storm is over
It's time for us to reap what we have sewn
No doubt my brothers and sisters
God has given us a miracle, finally
Blackstreet
[Verse 1: Blackstreet]
Finally we'll make it through the storm and the rain
It's time to give and praise and bless the Lord
If you believe in miracles, just you wait and see
Cause finally we'll make it through it all
[Chorus:]
Bless the Lord
Bless the Lord
Cause finally we'll make it through it all
Bless the Lord
Bless the Lord
Cause finally we'll make it through the storm
[Verse 2: Blackstreet]
We've had our ups and downs
Sometimes there no way out, I know He's there
To lead me and guide me every step of the way, yeah
Your grace, my joy, constant friend indeed
Everything that I do, I owe it all to you
I bless your name
[Chorus]
[Hezekiah:]
To every believer, all things work together for the good
To him that love to Lord
It's time for us to speak to those things
That are not as though they were
So I command every household to be blessed
I command every marriage to work out
I command every broken heart to be heal
I command prosperity upon my life
It's my time, it's my time, finally, finally
The miracle is here
C'mon Blackstreet, c'mon Fellowship
Let's bless the Lord
[Chorus]
[Hezekiah:]
And because God is the greatest power
We shall not be defeated
Finally.
