Disciple - If You Say So Lyrics
Lyrics
Tonight's the night when I run
Mount it up
Rollin' over the snakes and the scorpions
The sun is breaking
The dark of night will light up
Infusion
Leaving all of us speaking in a new tongue
Dialect of love
Lead the way and I'll follow
Where else could I go?
You have the words of life
Where else could I go?
You're my only life
If you say so
I'll go wherever you say to go
Frontline to the gallows
If you say so
If you say so
I'll go wherever you say to go
Mansion to the ghetto
If you say so
Fire it up and let's go
Light the road
To the least of these is where we must go
Heal the broken
Screaming into their soul
Save us all
Til all the prodigals have come home
Rollin' on
Lead the way and I'll follow
Where else could I go?
You have the words of life
Where else could I go?
You're my only life
If you say so
I'll go wherever you say to go
Frontline to the gallows
If you say so
If you say so
I'll go wherever you say to go
Mansion to the ghetto
If you say so
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
Send me
Here I am
If you say so
I'll go wherever you say to go
Frontline to the gallows
If you say so
If you say so
I'll go wherever you say to go
Mansion to the ghetto
If you say so
If you say so

If You Say So
Meaning & Inspiration
Disciple's "If You Say So," featured on the deluxe edition of their 2025 album *Skeleton Psalms*, is a profound declaration of unwavering trust and radical obedience, deeply rooted in Christian faith. The song emerges not just as a musical piece but as a spiritual anthem, echoing a commitment to follow divine direction regardless of the personal cost or circumstance. Its narrative is one of absolute surrender, inspired by the believer's willingness to be sent wherever God calls, mirroring the posture of biblical figures who answered the Lord's summons with open hearts. The opening lines, speaking of running and overcoming obstacles, immediately evoke imagery of spiritual warfare and the strength found in divine empowerment, much like David confronting Goliath or the Israelites navigating the wilderness. The "new tongue" and "dialect of love" suggest a transformation, a Holy Spirit infusion that equips believers with a language of grace and truth to share with the world, aligning with the Pentecostal experience described in Acts chapter 2 and the Great Commission's call to discipleship.
The central theme of "If You Say So" revolves around complete reliance on God's guidance, encapsulated in the poignant questions, "Where else could I go? You have the words of life." This sentiment directly reflects Jesus' own pronouncements, such as in John 6:68, where Peter declares, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." The lyrics paint a stark contrast between the "mansion" and the "ghetto," the "frontline" and the "gallows," illustrating that obedience transcends earthly comfort and societal status, demanding a willingness to engage with the broken and marginalized. This echoes Jesus' teachings in Matthew 25:40: "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." The song's repeated, almost liturgical, invocation, "Here I am, send me," is a direct echo of Isaiah 6:8, where the prophet, after his vision of God, cries out, "Here am I. Send me!" It's a powerful expression of vocational readiness, a humble yet resolute offering of oneself for service. The song’s message is a robust encouragement for listeners to embrace a life of purpose, recognizing that true fulfillment lies in aligning their will with God's, finding courage and direction in His divine promises and commands, and understanding that their ultimate security is found not in their own plans, but in His.
