As mentioned in section 1, nothing else in these lyrics point us to God in either an overt or subtle manner. There is one explicit reference to God that sets the context for the entire song. How would an outsider interpret the song? Daigle recognizes that our pursuit results both in failure and victory, both given to God for His glory: the error paid for by Jesus and the success given proper credit to God.Ī slight derivative of the last three lines of Chorus. Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet We become a holy priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), the Church (ekklēsia the believing ones Romans 12:5,1 Corinthians 12:12–27, Ephesians 3:6 and 5:23, Colossians 1:18 and Colossians 1:24), the “bride of Christ” (Ephesians 5:22-33). In You I find my worth, in You I find my identityĪs creatures created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), our entire identity, as Daigle correctly pointed out, is Christian, which literally means “follower of Christ”. The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me We belong to God, adopted as His sons and daughters (see John 1:12-13, John 14:18, Romans 8:14-17, Romans 8:23, Romans 9:1-8, Galatians 3:26, Galatians 4:5-7, Ephesians 1:3-14, Ephesians 2:11-22, Hebrews 9:15, and 1 John 3:1-3).ĭaigle’s response to these declarations is belief. If it did, it would love us, but it doesn’t (John 15:19). You say I am held when I am falling shortĪccording to Psalm 34:18, God is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Though I thought this was a self-righteous statement by Daigle, Verse 2 contradicts my prior opinion. You say I am strong when I think I am weak A great summary passage is 1 John 4:8, which tells us that God is love, as demonstrated to His followers, apexed (my word) through the cross (see Nehemiah 9:17, Psalm 17:7, Psalm 36:5-7, Psalm 63:3, Psalm 69:16, Psalm 117:2, Isaiah 54:8, John 3:16, John 13:34, John 15:13, Romans 5:6-8, Romans 8:37-39, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 2:4-5, Ephesians 5:25, Titus 3:4, and 1 John 4:16-19). The bridge tells us that “You” refers to God. You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know These “voices” are the demonic utterings of Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44).Īm I more than just the sum of every high and every low?Ī rhetorical question with an obvious answer. I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enoughĮvery single lie that tells me I will never measure up The entire song is in agreement with the Word of God. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture? There is nothing else in the lyrics that would have pointed us to God, which would have resulted in an easy boyfriend/girlfriend interpretation. In terms of the identity of “You”, Daigle is lucky that she explicitly mentioned God.
Lauren daigle in christ alone full#
You’ll get full credit!Īs of this writing, I have done two Lauren Daigle reviews: O’Lord and Trust in You, both with highly favorable scores. If you have some interesting ideas for a poll, send me a message.
I’m also hoping to have some fun things to vote on also. I try to have a new poll out at least once a month, so keep coming back to vote on your favorites (or at least ones that you want me to review). From here on out, your votes will determine the bulk of my reviews, with a smattering of my own selections. It was requested by three separate people, so I promised myself I would cover Lauren Daigle’s You Say at the start of the new year. This is the last song that I put in the queue before I started utilizing the polling system.
