This week’s featured song story comes to us from Blanca. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “What If.”
“‘What If’ was born out of this place of all these questions and of all these doubts…wondering why things were happening the way that they were and if they were ever gonna change. Wondering what’s gonna happen with my life? What’s gonna happen with my career? But through all of that God just being like what if I’m bigger than it? What if I have you exactly where I want you? What if there’s power in My name? What if My love is strong enough to do anything in your life? And so that’s the truth that I wanted to bring out of this song.” – Blanca

“What If” Lyrics
I don’t really know why
I’ve been feeling down
I’ve been feeling so low
I don’t really know why
I can’t figure out
Why I’m feeling so alone
Never really know why
All I think about
Is how bad it could go
When I really don’t know, no
I get these thoughts inside my head
What if I don’t have what it takes
What if things don’t ever change
Don’t leave room for You but…
What if You’re holding me up
What if Your love is enough
What if the power in Your name
Can do anything
And what if You’re making me strong
What if You were here all along
What if I’m right where You want me
Everything I’m going through
You understand
I know You see it
Every single thing I do
It’s in Your hands
And I believe it
I don’t really know why
I feel like I keep letting You down
There’s nothing that can separate
Me from You
When I believe it
What if You’re holding me up
What if Your love is enough
What if the power in Your name
Can do anything
And what if You’re making me strong
What if You were here all along
What if I’m right where You want me
I get these thoughts inside my head
What if I don’t have what it takes
What if things don’t ever change
Then I’ll remember what You said
You will fulfill Your promises
And all the questions go away
Woah…
I know You’re holding me up
I know Your love is enough
I know the power in Your name
Can do anything
And I know You’re making me strong
I know You were here all along
I know I’m right where You want me
I know You’re holding me up
I know Your love is enough
I know the power in Your name
You can do anything
And I know You’re making me strong
I know You were here all along
I know I’m right where You want me
What if You were right there
This song is one of the absolute bests!!! I can’t listen to it enough. Thank you for featuring it. I love the sound AND the message that God is so much greater than our doubts, worries, and insecurities. I hope Christian radio will play this song for many months (and years) to come.
