Riley Clemmons' song 'Even When Nothing Hurts' is a prayer for spiritual desperation and devotion to God in all seasons, not just during trials. The lyrics express a desire to seek God and cry out to Him even when life is easy and pain-free. The song acknowledges the human tendency to drift from God when circumstances are good and asks for help to remain faithful and dependent on Him at all times. It's a heartfelt plea for a consistent, year-round relationship with God, not just a crisis-driven one.

When nothing hurts, nothing hurts
When nothing hurts
I always fall at Your feet when I'm dying inside
I give You the pain in my chest when it's too much to hide
I pull You close to me
When this life cuts deep
But when everything gets easy
It's easy not to keep You first
God, make me desperate for You
Even when nothing hurts
When my heart is beating steady
And I'm not on my knees in the dirt
Teach me to cry out to You
Even when nothing hurts
I want to still sing Your name when the wounds have all healed
To seek You in every season no matter how I feel
We both know You have my heart
When things are hard
But when everything gets easy
It's easy not to keep You first
God, make me desperate for You
Even when nothing hurts
When my heart is beating steady
And I'm not on my knees in the dirt
Teach me to cry out to You
Even when nothing hurts
When nothing hurts, nothing hurts
God, I still need You when nothing hurts
When nothing hurts, nothing hurts
God, I still need You
When everything gets easy
It's easy not to keep You first
God, make me desperate for You
Even when nothing hurts
When my heart is beating steady
And I'm not on my knees in the dirt
Teach me to cry out to You
Even when nothing hurts
When nothing hurts, nothing hurts
God, I still need You when nothing hurts
When nothing hurts, nothing hurts
Maybe that's when I need You the worst
When nothing hurts, nothing hurts
