Song Meaning

Amid life's overcast days, when discouragement and setbacks seem to lurk around every corner, this song captures a raw, honest longing for spiritual alignment. The singer admits the temptation to lose direction and the weight of feeling dragged down by circumstances or other people. Yet instead of staying in that low place, the repeated cry is to be made right with God, acknowledging that self-effort falls short—trying to make it alone simply doesn't work. The lyrics pivot to a declaration of trust, placing everything in the Lord and affirming that nothing can separate us from His love. The Mississippi Mass Choir delivers this with a fervent, communal energy, turning a personal struggle into a collective confession and plea. It's a song that meets listeners in their cloudy moments and gently steers them back to the anchor of faith, reminding them that the desire to be right with God is itself a step toward the peace they seek.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

In this day so cloudy and gray
It's so easy to lose your way
Every time I turn around, something seems to get me down
And I know I shouldn't feel this way
But I wanna be right, right with you, Lord
In you I put all my trust; nothing can keep us from you...

When I try to make it on my own
I couldn't do it, Lord, no
Every time I turn around
Somebody somewhere somehow seems to bring me down
But I wanna be right with you, Lord...

Yea, I wanna be right with you, Lord
Right with you, Lord
Right with you, Lord
In you I put all my trust
Nothing can keep us
...
