Lyrics
Verse 1
When life lets you down, and you feel more broken than whole
When the wounds go deeper than words and you can't tell a soul
I may not know what you're going through
May not can make that high mountain move
But one thing I've found that I really want you to know
Chorus
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master
He wants to share the burdens you bear
Whisper peace when your world gets shattered
If it's your greatest joy or your deepest pain
Or you're really needing an answer
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master
Verse 2
Friend, do you think the Maker and giver of life
Is far too busy to care 'bout your trouble and strife?
He sees the sparrow that falls to the ground
And He hears the tears that don't make a sound
If you only knew how precious you are in His sight
Chorus
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master
He wants to share the burdens you bear
Whisper peace when your world gets shattered
If it's your greatest joy or your deepest pain
Or you're really needing an answer
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master
Outro
If it's your greatest joy or your deepest pain
Or you're really needing an answer
If it matters to you, it doesn't only matter to you
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master

Meaning & Inspiration
“It Matters to the Master” by The Collingsworth Family offers comfort to someone who feels broken and unheard. The first verse speaks to hidden wounds that words cannot reach, and the chorus answers with a simple claim: “If it matters to you, it matters to the Master.” Whether the burden is great joy or sharp pain, the song says God wants to share it and to whisper peace when life is shattered.
The second verse asks if the Maker and giver of life is too busy to care about trouble and strife. It answers with the image of the sparrow that falls and the tears that make no sound, and it ends by saying how precious the listener is in His sight. The final line adds a twist, that it does not only matter to the listener but to the Master.
That reasoning is close to Matthew 10:29-31, where Jesus says not one sparrow falls apart from the Father and that His followers are worth more than many sparrows, and to 1 Peter 5:7 on casting cares upon Him. The song stays gentle and pastoral throughout.
