12. You Say

Sunday August 2,2026

I keep fighting voices in my mind

That say I'm not enough

Ev'ry single lie that tells me

I will never measure up

Am I more than just the sum of

Ev'ry high and ev'ry low

Remind me once again just who I am

Because I need to know oo 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

And when I don't belong oh You say I am Yours

And I believe oh I believe

What You say of me I believe

The only thing that matters now

Is ev'rything You think of me

In You I find my worth

In You I find my identity

Taking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feet

You'll have ev'ry failure God

You'll have ev'ry victory

Oh I believe yes I believe

What You say of me I believe

“I am who You say I am…”

Lauren Daigle wrote this during a season of deep insecurity and identity struggle.

The song is a battle between voices—the world’s, our own, and God’s truth.

It reminds us that identity is not earned. It is received. Spoken over us by a faithful God.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 — “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”

Ask yourself:

  • What voices shape your identity the most?
  • What lies do you struggle to believe about yourself?
  • What truth from God do you need to hold onto?

You Say (Identity in Christ)
