Lyrics
Verse 1
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 song of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know
Chorus
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 that I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe
Verse 2
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, o-ooh
Chorus
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 that I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
Oh, I believe
Bridge
Taking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, You have every victory, o-ooh
Chorus
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 that I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe
Outro
Oh I believe, yes I believe
What You say of me
I believe

Meaning & Inspiration
The lyrics open with a speaker struggling against inner voices that insist they are "not enough" and lies that say they will "never measure up." The plea that follows is direct: to be reminded of who they are, because they need to know. From there the song sets the speaker's feelings against what God is said to declare. The speaker is loved while unable to feel anything, strong while feeling weak, held while falling short, and claimed as God's own while feeling out of place.
The repeated line "And I believe" places trust in what God says above the speaker's own emotions. Worth and identity are grounded in "everything You think of me" rather than in performance, and the bridge pictures laying every failure and every victory at God's feet. These ideas sit close to biblical teaching that believers are called children of God and are kept safe in his hand. The lyrics may be read alongside passages such as 1 John 3:1 and 2 Corinthians 12:10, though the song does not quote either directly.
