Christian artist Lauren Daigle performs a live rendition of her hit song ‘You Say’ at the 2018 GMA Dove Awards.
This powerful single earned worldwide attention and even won a 2019 Grammy Award. The poignant lyrics serve as a reminder that when we feel small, God can lift us to greater heights.
“I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know”
Before writing this song, Lauren was struggling with her identity. Her previous album, How Can It Be, was a critically acclaimed success.
But now, Lauren was feeling unsure of where to go next. She told CCM Magazine, “This song for me was just a reminder of identity. It was a reminder that I know when I’m weak, He’s strong—so how do I change that and bring that into my every day life? When I feel inadequate how is it that there’s always these moments where I feel like God just steps in and supercedes my inadequacies.”
“You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours”
The love from our Father is like no other. He is our light, our strength, and our source of truth. Let these words wash over you and be reminded that you are a child of the King of kings.
