What You Say Lyrics

Ooh, oooh
How many times will I fall?
How many times will I hit this same wall?
It feels like I'm stuck here, same song on repeat
If I'm honest, I wonder if there's any hope for me
But I hear Your voice cut through the noise like a calm in the middle of a storm
I say it's over, but You say it's beginning
And I say I'm guilty, but You say forgiven
And I may be broken, but Your words bring healing
So no matter what I'm feeling, this time I'm believing what You say
What You say
You call me Your son, when I feel like I don't belong
You say that I've got a special place in Your heart
You tell me I'm loved, more than I'll ever know
And even when I'm failing, Your grace only grows
I say it's over, but You say it's beginning
And I say I'm guilty, but You say forgiven
And I may be broken, but Your words bring healing
So no matter what I'm feeling, this time I'm believing what You say
What You say
No more listenin' to all of the lies, no
'Cause the truth is, I'm blameless in Your eyes, in Your eyes
But I hear Your voice cut through the noise like a calm in the middle of the storm, oh
I say it's over, but You say it's beginning
And I say I'm guilty, but You say forgiven
And I may be broken, but Your words bring healing
So no matter what I'm feeling, this time I'm believing what You say (I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
What You say (oh, I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
What You say (oh, I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
What You say (oh, I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
Lord, what You say (I'm believing what You say)

The music of Ryan Stevenson blends influences from soul, pop, and some of the great guitarists to create engaging acoustic guitar driven melodies. Embracing the idea that some of the most profound moments of worship emerge not from mountain-top experiences but from difficult, perhaps even catastrophic circumstance gives Ryan’s lyrics a poetic vulnerability reflecting honestly on the difficulties everyone faces.

At the age of 18, his youth pastor surprised him by placing a guitar in his hands, stating, "I felt like the Lord was telling me to buy this for you" Ryan matured his musical gifts by playing at youth groups, summer camps and mission trips. While attending Northwest Christian College in Eugene, Oregon, Ryan formed an acoustic duo with fellow Christian artist Paul Wright and played in local coffee houses. After adding a full band to the mix, they played throughout the northwest, packing venues and opening for renowned Christian artists. When Wright pursued his solo career, Ryan worked with him as a co-writer, singer, and guitarist on each of Wrights mainstream releases.

Ryan’s own music reflects the wealth of experience garnered from his time with these endeavors. In 2003, Stevenson moved to Boise, Idaho. He continued writing songs, leading worship, and performing in small venues, all while working as a front line paramedic. Wanting to honestly and vulnerably communicate through his recording and his live performance the grace and love that guides him through his own trials, Ryan Stevenson writes with a musical maturity beyond his years and a spiritual sensitivity that easily draws people into the musical message.
