Daigle did not consider music seriously until contracting cytomegalovirus at age 15.
This diagnosis kept her out of school for the next two years. During that time, Daigle took voice lessons that provided her with a creative outlet.[7][8] During college prep school, she planned to enter the medical field and do mission work. Daigle attended a charter school and completed a year and a half of class work in six months, graduating early. She took a year off from school and did mission work in Brazil before attending Louisiana State University (LSU) for Child and Family Studies.[9][8]
After being signed to the label Centricity Music, she released her debut album,
How Can It Be, in 2015. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart, has been certified Platinum by the RIAA and produced three No. 1 singles on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart (“First”, “Trust in You“, and “O’Lord“).
Daigle’s third studio album, Look Up Child, was released in September 2018.
Bolstered by the pop crossover success of the single “You Say“, it went on to debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming the highest-charting Christian album by a woman in over 20 years, and No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart, with 115,000 album-equivalent units sold in the first week.[3] The album’s lead single, “You Say”, peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has broken the record for the number of weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart at 129 weeks for any solo artist.
The album and single earned Daigle two Grammy Awards.
In addition to two Grammy Awards, Daigle has won seven GMA Dove Awards, five Billboard Music Awards, two American Music Awards, and has had four No. 1 singles on both the Billboard Christian Airplay and Hot Christian Songs chart.
Christian artist Lauren Daigle performs a live rendition of her hit song
‘You Say’ at the 2018 GMA Dove Awards.
This powerful single earned worldwide attention and even won a 2019 Grammy Award. The poignant lyrics serve as a reminder that when we feel small, God can lift us to greater heights.
“I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
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”
Before writing this song, Lauren was struggling with her identity. Her previous album, How Can It Be, was a critically acclaimed success.
But now, Lauren was feeling unsure of where to go next. She told CCM Magazine, “This song for me was just a reminder of identity. It was a reminder that I know when I’m weak, He’s strong—so how do I change that and bring that into my everyday life? When I feel inadequate how is it that there’s always these moments where I feel like God just steps in and supersedes my inadequacies.”
“You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours”
The love from our father is like no other. He is our light, our strength, and our source of truth. Let these words wash over you and be reminded that you are a child of the King of kings.
Lauren Daigle – “Remember” – Live at Red Rocks 2019-09-29 – YouTube
Lauren said she doesn’t perform this one live, but since her dad was in the audience
and he had personally requested it… she called the band at 2am and told them to “learn it” for the show the next day. =) She killed it! What an awesome show. I can’t wait for Lauren to come back to Red Rocks. It’s very, very rare to hear someone who can sing this well live. God has clearly given her an astonishing gift and praise God she is using it.
Can you imagine if she hadn’t?!?! Her songs provide me immense comfort.
The combination of the deep insightful lyrics combined with that voice; well, let’s put it this way, each song is a sermon and I’m sure people are being converted to Christ through this music!
You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for a live version of this
Remember (lyrics)
In the darkest hour, when I cannot breathe Fear is on my chest, the weight of the world
on me Everything is crashing down, everything I had known When I wonder if I’m all alone
I remember, I remember you have always been faithful to me I remember; I remember Even when my own eyes could not see You were there, always there I will lift my eyes even in the pain Above all the lies, I know you can make a way I have seen giants fall, I have seen mountains move I have seen water’s part because of You I remember (I remember)
I remember (I remember) You have always been faithful to me I remember (I remember)
I remember (I remember) Even when my own eyes could not see You were there, always there I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about Your goodness, goodness I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about Your goodness, goodness I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about Your goodness, goodness I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about I can’t stop thinking about Your goodness, goodness I remember, I remember You have always been faithful to me I remember (I remember) I remember
(I remember) Even when my own eyes could not see ~
You were there, always there, with me

Lauren Daigle – Rescue (Official Music Video) – YouTube
This Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter has earned praise in both the Christian and secular music scene.
Her powerful lyrics resonate with millions of people all over the world. God is our comfort and the shelter when we feel lost.
“There is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
I’ll be your armor”
Lauren Daigle has truly made a name for herself as one of the most talented Christian artists of the modern era.
Rescue’ is featured on Lauren’s 2018 album ‘Look Up Child.’ This special song is all about how we are not alone.
It truly makes me think about our relationship with God and how He stands by our side each step of the way.
Hand your worries over to Him and He will rescue you.
“I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you”
Whoever reading this, God knows what you are facing, He heard your cry, He is going to deliver you. Just trust in him.
Fort Wayne, IN 9/24/2021 🖤🖤🖤 || LYRICS BELOW! || I believe this was her second concert since COVID shut everything down, but we got to be the first to hear this amazing song which is now one of my absolute faves. She mentioned right before I started filming that we might see her physically looking down periodically to read the words as it was still that new to her. I can’t wait to hear the recorded version when it comes out! ~ erin♡dozois
Lauren Daigle || “You Lead Me” || New Song || 1st Performance || LYRICS! 🖤 – YouTube
Sometimes the sun feels like it keeps me in the dark Sometimes I find myself on journeys far too hard I thought You turned Your back on every hurt Til I realized that You were going in first [[ Refrain ]] You lead me Through deserts no man has walked Through waters none dare to cross When I’m afraid of where I’ll be You lead me Through flames that won’t burn me down Showing me the way to the only way out When it’s all unknown As far as I can see You lead me I close my eyes and hold on tightly to Your hand Don’t know if I’m walking on water or sinking sand Caught up in the storm of what I feel I thought You were the sword but You’re the shield [[ Refrain ]] Through the deserts Through the valleys Through the waters You lead me [[ Refrain ]]
Her songs have powerful messages. I totally relate to this song. May God bless her.
I love her voice, it’s so raw and emotional, Amen
Ezekiel 34:11-12 “For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.”
