The Healing Journey

April 12, 2025

“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, You say I am Yours…”
— Lauren Daigle

One of the most popular songs about faith, uncertainty and self-acceptance is “You Say” by contemporary Christian singer and songwriter Lauren Daigle, which has an enduring message for all of us suffering from loss and looking at life with uncertainty and trying to find God’s place in our lives.

The song, which was released in 2018, has touched countless people with its message of hope. In writing it, Daigle said that it describes the ups and downs we confront in life and the often overwhelming insecurities we encounter on the journey.

“You Say” dominated the Christian Songs chart for 132 weeks and earned a six-times platinum certification in the U.S. in addition to winning the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song and the award for Top Christian Song at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.

Its message of hope in a tumultuous life has also resonated with non-Christians worldwide. Hear Lauren Daigle sing “You Say,”

You Say

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
Ooh-oh
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
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity
Ooh-oh
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
When I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
Oh, I believe
Taking all I have, and now I’m laying it at Your feet
You have every failure, God, You have every victory
Ooh-oh
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 I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
Oh, I believe (I)
Yes, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
