Lauren Daigle - Look Up Child Lyrics
Lyrics
Where are You now
When darkness seems to win?
Where are You now
When the world is crumbling? .
Oh I, I, I hear You say
I hear You say .
Look up child hey
Look up child hey .
Where are You now (where are You?)
When all I feel is doubt?
Oh, where are You now
When I can't figure it out? .
Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say
I hear You say .
Look up child hey
Look up child hey
Look up child hey
Look up child hey
Look up .
[Bridge]
You're not threatened by the war
You're not shaken by the storm
I know You're in control
Even in our suffering
Even when it can't be seen
I know You're in control .
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say
I hear You say .
[Chorus 3]
Look up child hey
Look up child hey
Look up child, oh-oh-oooh
I hear You say, You say, You say
Look up child hey
I hear You say, You say, You say
Look up, look up, look up, look up
Look up child, oh-ooh, ooh, oh-oooh…
I hear You say, You say, You say
Look up child hey
I hear You say, You say, You say
Look up, look up, look up, look up
Look up child
I hear You say, You say, You say
I hear You, I hear You calling my name, oh
Look up child hey
I hear You say, You say, You say
Look up, look up
Look up child hey
Look up child hey
Look up

Meaning & Inspiration
Lauren Daigle’s "Look Up Child," released on August 27, 2018, is a powerful anthem that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced periods of doubt, weariness, or feeling lost. The song's genesis is rooted in Daigle's own journey of faith, a narrative of rediscovering hope when life's circumstances felt overwhelming. It’s a testament to the enduring strength found in turning our gaze towards a higher power, a call to remember our identity as beloved children, even when the world feels dark. The central message echoes the timeless biblical instruction to trust in God and not be discouraged, much like David penned in Psalm 27:14, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." The song directly addresses the listener, inviting them to lift their eyes from their troubles and remember the unfailing love and purpose that God has for them. This is beautifully aligned with the encouragement in Hebrews 12:2, which speaks of fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, for the joy set before him. Daigle’s lyrical invitation to "look up" is not merely a suggestion to change one's physical posture, but a profound spiritual act, a deliberate choice to shift perspective from the temporary and overwhelming to the eternal and sovereign. The song paints a vivid picture of being seen, known, and cherished, drawing parallels to Isaiah 43:1, where God declares, "But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.'" This intrinsic worth, bestowed by our Creator, is the bedrock of the song's inspiring message, reminding us that we are not defined by our struggles but by the love of the One who holds us. "Look Up Child" serves as a gentle yet firm reminder that even in the quiet moments of despair, divine hope is always present, waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.
