More about this title
About the Artist: Lauren Daigle
Lauren Daigle is a contemporary Christian music artist whose songs have resonated across worship spaces and radio formats since her breakthrough in the mid-2010s. Her work bridges the gap between intimate personal faith and accessible pop sensibilities, making her compositions natural fits for choral arrangements that serve both traditional and contemporary worship settings.
Why we love this
Sorenson's arrangement transforms a modern pop ballad into something that works equally well in a church service or concert hall. The scaffolding of solo voices against warm choral support gives your ensemble members distinct moments to shine while maintaining the song's emotional core, and the message itself resonates powerfully with audiences of all ages.
What to expect
The song unfolds like a conversation between doubt and affirmation, beginning with vulnerability and building toward a declaration of worth. Sonically, it sits in that warm middle ground between pop production and choral lyricism, with harmonic motion that feels both modern and timeless.
Who it's for
Praise teams, contemporary worship ensembles, and traditional choral programs looking for spiritually substantive repertoire that speaks to current listeners. The solo-plus-choir format works beautifully for groups with 2-4 singers capable of carrying a line and a supporting ensemble of any size.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the solo verses carefully so they sit slightly forward without overwhelming the harmonic bed underneath. The contrast between intimate testimony and communal affirmation drives the song's arc.
- Treat the text as a personal statement, not a recitation. Encourage your singers to own the theology in what they're singing, and that investment will read from the first phrase.
- Let the chord movement breathe in the key modulations. Sorenson's arrangement likely includes shifts that reinforce the journey from question to certainty; resist rushing through these moments.
- If using the recorded accompaniment, rehearse without it often enough that your ensemble feels anchored in the harmonies, not dependent on following along.
How to use it
This works powerfully as a set-closer or as a gentle opener for a service centered on assurance and identity. Pair it with shorter pieces that explore similar theological territory, or use it as a moment of stillness within a longer contemporary or mixed repertoire program.
Skills your students will build
- Singing with conviction over pop-influenced chord progressions
- Balancing ensemble blend while supporting prominent solos
- Interpreting text as personal testimony rather than distant narrative
- Responding to dynamic and harmonic shifts that reinforce lyrical meaning
