The Statler Brothers’ live performance of ‘Til the Storm Passes By’ is a powerful reminder of God’s presence during tough times.
‘Til the Storm Passes By’ is one of the popular classic Christian hymns that has moved people for years. The Statler Brothers sing it in a way that really brings out its message. Mosie Lister wrote this beautiful hymn in 1958. It tells us that God is our refuge and strength when we’re in trouble.
The Statler Brothers started singing together in 1955. They became one of the most popular country music groups ever. They were known for their tight harmonies and mix of gospel, country, and pop music. For almost 50 years, they made hit songs like ‘Flowers on the Wall’ and ‘Do You Know You Are My Sunshine?’. But they always stayed true to their faith and gospel roots.
When the Statler Brothers sing ‘Til the Storm Passes By’ live, you can really feel the power of the song. Their voices blend perfectly as they sing the meaningful words. The song starts with,
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face
While the storm howls above me, and there’s no hiding place
These words paint a picture of the hard times we all face. Times when we feel alone and scared. But as the song goes on, it reminds us that we can always call out to God for help and comfort.
The chorus really drives home the main point of the song:
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand
Keep me safe till the storm passes by
These words remind us of what the Bible says, especially in Psalms. God is our shelter and our strength.
This song’s message is just as important today as it was when it was written. We all face storms in our lives. These could be personal problems, world crises, or spiritual battles. When these things happen, it’s easy to feel lost and alone, like the person in the first verse of the song. But the song tells us to look beyond our problems and trust in God’s love and protection.
As we deal with our own storms in life, we can find comfort in this song’s message. No matter how dark things get or how bad the storm is, God is always with us. We can trust that He will keep us safe until the storm passes.
