Lauren Daigle - I Am Yours Lyrics
Lyrics
I see Your fingerprints
The work of Your hands
It's all in Your hands
I see the evidence
Leaving nothing to chance
The world's in Your hands
So I rest in Your promises
Now I am sure of this
I'm Yours
Let the waters rise
I will stand as the oceans roar
Let the earth shake beneath me
Let the mountains fall
You are God over the storm
And I am Yours
I hear the voice of love
Calling me home
To where I belong
It cripples every fear
And the ones who will kneel
Will walk away healed
So I rest in Your promises
Now I am sure of this
I'm Yours
No power is strong enough
To separate me from Your love
I'm Yours...
So let the waters rise
I will stand as the oceans roar
Let the earth shake beneath me
Let the mountains fall
You are God over the storm
And I am Yours
Even the thunder and the wind obey
At the command of my Father, Father
I set my feet upon Your mighty name
So let the rain fall harder, harder
So take my everything, my flesh and blood
I'll lay me down on the altar, altar
I am forever covered in Your love
So let the rain fall
So let the waters rise
I will stand as the oceans roar
Let the earth shake beneath me
Let the mountains fall
You are God over the storm
And I am Yours
[x2:]
Let the waters rise
I will stand as the oceans roar
Let the earth shake beneath me
Let the mountains fall
You are God over the storm
And I am Yours
You are God over the storm
And I am Yours

Lauren Daigle - I Am Yours (Acoustic)
Meaning & Inspiration
Lauren Daigle's "I Am Yours," released in 2015 as an acoustic rendition, is a profound declaration of surrender and belonging, rooted deeply in the Christian faith. The song’s power lies not in complex instrumentation or intricate vocal runs, but in its raw, honest expression of a soul wholly given over to God. At its core, "I Am Yours" articulates a complete relinquishing of self, a joyful submission to a divine purpose that transcends personal will. This is not a reluctant offering, but a liberated embrace of an identity found in Christ, echoing the Apostle Paul's declaration in Galatians 2:20, where he states, "I have been crucified with Christ and, I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Daigle's simple yet resonant words convey this same spirit of transformation, of a life no longer defined by the self, but by the One who claimed it. The message resonates with the ancient wisdom of Psalm 23, which speaks of the Lord as a shepherd who guides, provides, and protects, assuring the singer that in His care, there is no want and no fear. When the song speaks of being held, it paints a picture of divine security, much like Jesus promised in John 10:29, "My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand." The surrender depicted is not one of defeat, but of ultimate freedom, the freedom found in realizing one's true purpose and place within God's grand design. It’s a song that invites listeners to reflect on their own commitment, to consider the joy of a life lived in conscious dependence on the Creator, recognizing that in giving all to Him, we truly find ourselves. The vulnerability inherent in the performance amplifies this message, making it an anthem for anyone seeking to deepen their walk of faith, finding their identity and security not in worldly accolades or personal achievements, but in the unwavering love and possession of their heavenly Father.
