Lyrics
Lay down everything
Come and follow
It's what you ask of me
Don't bring your worries
Come and let go
Is what you are telling me
Let every other voice be a liar
And yours be true
your promises stay even when our faith breaks
your word is true
I know nobody
there will never be one
who loves me like you do
Like a lighthouse in the storm
you glow through my soul
your voice calls me home
Your word is true
Your voice is kind
It silences all the storms in my life
formed in my mother
born with a purpose
you know my heart and called me by name

Meaning & Inspiration
Your Word Is True contrasts God’s voice with anxiety, competing claims, and unstable faith. The opening call to lay everything down and follow presents trust as surrender, while the recurring refrain insists that God’s promises remain firm even when human confidence weakens. The lighthouse image gives that assurance a clear emotional setting: amid inner storms, God’s voice guides the singer home.
The song also connects divine truth with personal care. God is described as uniquely loving, kind in speech, and able to quiet turmoil rather than merely overpower it. Its closing lines about being formed in the mother’s womb, known by name, and born with purpose closely echo Psalm 139’s language of God’s intimate knowledge and creative care. Isaiah 43:1 offers a related image of being called by name. Together, these references support the song’s central claim that God’s word can be trusted because it comes from the One who knows, loves, and calls each life.
