The Collingsworth Family - It Matters to The Master Lyrics
Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
The Collingsworth Family has a way of stripping away the noise of modern life to focus on the raw connection between a believer and their Creator, and that is exactly what they bring to the table with "It Matters to the Master." We often trick ourselves into thinking that God is only interested in the big, theological milestones or the spiritual "wins" in our lives. We categorize our hurts and our mundane frustrations as things we should handle on our own because we assume the Almighty has more important business to attend to. But this song dismantles that lie by pointing us back to the sheer intimacy of a Father who refuses to be distant from the details of our days.
When the lyrics claim that "He sees the sparrow that falls to the ground," they aren't just using flowery language; they are grounding our worth in the very words of Jesus from Matthew 10. If the Creator of the universe keeps tabs on a bird worth mere pennies, how could we possibly believe He is too busy for the tears that don't make a sound? It is a radical rejection of the idea that we suffer in a vacuum. Psalm 56:8 tells us that God keeps our tears in His bottle, which confirms the song’s assertion that even the silent, internal griefs that you can’t tell a soul are known to Him. By saying "it matters to the Master," the group challenges us to stop holding our burdens as if they are private property.
We often read 1 Peter 5:7, which instructs us to cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us, but we rarely live like it. This track pushes us to believe the verse actually means what it says. If our struggles were not significant to Him, He wouldn't be the God who draws near to the brokenhearted as described in Psalm 34:18. The theology here is personal, relational, and fiercely protective. It shifts our perspective from feeling like a small speck in a cosmic machine to being the specific focus of a watchful Shepherd. Stop carrying the weight of your worries alone when the One who measured the heavens with the span of His hand is waiting to share the load.
