The focus of the problem is “how I measure up” being different from all of the lies being told her. “Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know” Now here we get a typical minimization of the problem of sin as merely “a low” but greater than that error is the overall focus of the problem in the first verse and where the singer is turning for the solution. If you’ve read through some DiM, you probably know where I’m headed with this, so let’s finish out the verse. Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Is this a lie? Depends on what is being measured and by what standard. Let’s see if the song gives us something more specific. Heck, even Nike plays on this theme… their solution “just do it”. Everyone can relate to this thought of “not being enough”… you don’t even have to be Christian to have these thoughts. I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough So from the beginning we start with a presentation of the problem.

I’m sure there will many who read this and try very hard to fix the theology of the song by eisegeting (adding to the text) the full preaching of Law and Gospel, but this isn’t about what we can turn the song into rather, this is about what is in the song. This song falls into the category of “theology of glory” rather than a Theology of the Cross. It’s too bad she has been taught a version of “Christianity” that praises “me and my identity” rather than Christ crucified for our sin. She could sing the menu at McDonald’s and keep my attention… and probably move me to order a meal as a result. Lauren Daigle is a gifted singer with an amazing voice.
