American Idol contestant Ryan Hammond performs ‘You Say’ by Lauren Daigle during the Top 20 solos.
This Christian song has touched hearts all over the world and it is even crossing over to the secular music scene.
“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”
‘You Say’ reached number one on the Christian billboard charts and other songs of her album ‘Look Up Child’ have also seen great success. This particular song is a reminder of how God never stops believing in us.
With vying for his spot on the live shows, Ryan Hammond chose this song to perform in Hawaii for the judges. Just listen as he flawlessly belts out these beautiful words.
“You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe”
After that performance, everyone was cheering for this talented young man. Judge Luke Byyan remarked on the performance saying, “You can elevate a room with just the power of your voice.” Ryan went on to make the Top 20 on American Idol so we will be seeing a lot more of him soon.
