Tommy Walker - If It's True Lyrics
Lyrics
If it's true that You're thinking of me now
If it's true, I really am Your precious child
If it's true that You're singing over me
What else could I ever want, what else could I need
If it's true that You cherish who I am
Won't reject me like some others choose to do
If it's true that You take delight in me
Pre-Chorus
What else could I ever want, what else could I need
Just knowing that forever Your affections are towards me
Chorus
I can stand, no matter what I'm facing
Carry on, though the storms, they may be raging
I can rise, turn these ashes into praises
All I really need is to know You always will
Love me
If it's true, when I'm abandoned and alone
You are there, in my suffering You will share
If it's true You've collected all my tears
What else could I ever want, what else should I fear
If it's true You've forgiven all my sins
Made me new, all my past forever gone
If it's true, that You've prepared a place for me
Vamp 1
You love me, You love me, You love
That's all I need to know
You want me, You want me, You want me
You're calling me Your own
Vamp 2
What matters most is that You love me
What matters most is that You care
What matters most is that You want me
There's nothing else that can compare

What If It's True
Meaning & Inspiration
Tommy Walker’s song "If It's True," released on June 5th, 2021, invites listeners on a profound journey of contemplation, posing a question that cuts right to the heart of Christian faith: what if everything the Bible says, everything we believe about God and His promises, is absolutely, undeniably true? It’s a song that doesn't just state beliefs but explores the immense, life-altering implications of those beliefs if they are taken at face value as ultimate reality. Walker, known for his heartfelt worship anthems, crafts a melody and message that gently but powerfully urge us to move beyond intellectual assent to a vibrant, lived-out conviction.
The song centers on the sheer magnitude of God’s character and the promises laid out in Scripture. It asks us to consider the weight of truth in declarations like "God is love," found in 1 John 4:8, and what that means for our fears, our relationships, and our understanding of ourselves. It prompts reflection on God’s faithfulness across generations, echoing passages like Psalm 89:8, which speaks of the Lord’s steadfastness surrounding Him, and Hebrews 13:8, reminding us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If these truths are truly bedrock, unshakeable facts, how should that transform our perspective on the uncertainty and challenges of life?
Furthermore, "If It's True" delves into the practical, tangible promises that God has made to His people. It makes us ponder the assurance of forgiveness through Christ, reflecting the glorious reality of 2 Corinthians 5:17, where we are called a new creation in Him, with the old passing away. It challenges us to consider the promise of His presence, not just in grand moments but in the everyday, aligning with Matthew 28:20, where Jesus assures His disciples He is with them always, to the very end of the age. The song lays bare the implications of believing that God will indeed meet our needs, as Philippians 4:19 promises He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus, and that nothing can separate us from His love, a glorious truth celebrated in Romans 8:38-39.
The beauty of "If It's True" lies in its ability to stir the soul and challenge complacency. It doesn't offer simplistic answers but encourages a deeper engagement with the core tenets of faith. By posing the central question, the song highlights the transformative power inherent in fully embracing biblical truth. If we truly believe God is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do, then worry begins to lose its grip, doubt is confronted by the unwavering nature of God, and hope becomes a solid anchor, not just a fragile wish. It calls us to live as if the promises of God are not just nice ideas but the foundational reality of the universe, a reality that changes everything about how we face tomorrow and how we live today. This song serves as a beautiful reminder that the power of our faith is directly tied to the truthfulness of the One in whom we believe, urging us to anchor our lives deeply in His verified character and promises.
