Lyrics
Verse 1
How many times can you hear the same lie
Before you start to believe it
The enemy keeps whispering to me
Swear these days it’s all that I’m hearing
I used to know who I was
But now I look in the mirror and I’m not so sure
Lord I don’t wanna listen to the lies anymore
Chorus
The truth is I am my Father’s child
I make Him proud and I make Him smile
I was made in the image of a perfect King
He looks at me and wouldn’t change a thing
The truth is I am truly loved
By a God who’s good when I’m not good enough
I don’t belong to the lies
I belong to You
And that’s the truth
Verse 2
When I feel like there’s so much noise
Living rent free in my head
Heaven finds me and a still small voice
And it sounds like grace instead
You remind who I am
When I look in the mirror and I’m not so sure
Lord I don’t want to listen to the lies anymore
Chorus (Repeat)
The truth is I am my Father’s child
I make Him proud and I make Him smile
I was made in the image of a perfect King
He looks at me and wouldn’t change a thing
The truth is I am truly loved
By a God who’s good when I’m not good enough
I don’t belong to the lies
I belong to You
And that’s the truth
Bridge
I know who I am
Because I know who You are
And I hold Your truth inside of my heart
I know the lies are always gonna try and find me
But I’ve never been so sure
Chorus (Repeat)
The truth is I am my Father’s child
I make Him proud and I make Him smile
I was made in the image of a perfect King
He looks at me and wouldn’t change a thing
The truth is I am truly loved
By a God who’s good when I’m not good enough
I don’t belong to the lies
I belong to You
And that’s the truth
And that’s the truth

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Truth” by Megan Woods is a song about answering lies with what God says. The first verse asks how many times a person can hear the same lie before believing it, and names the enemy as the one whispering. The singer admits that she looks in the mirror and is no longer sure who she is, and asks not to listen to the lies anymore.
The chorus replies with identity: she is her Father’s child, made in the image of a perfect King, truly loved by a God who is good when she is not good enough. The line “I don’t belong to the lies, I belong to You” turns the confession into a choice about whose voice to trust.
The second verse describes noise living rent free in the head, and a still small voice that sounds like grace. The bridge says she knows who she is because she knows who God is. The ideas are close to Genesis 1:27, 1 Kings 19:12 and 1 John 3:1, which speak of the image of God, a quiet voice and the Father’s love. The song is a direct, personal encouragement.
